‘jamming up’ internal messages…(Paralysis by Analysis)
▪ There are two aiming targets – but which one is most
important?
▪ How can you test a focus of attention strategy?

20. ‘CONSTRAINTS’ BASED COACHING
Manipulate the ‘factors’
to find ideal challenge
point
player
task environment
fatigue, pressure
distance, angle, player on the mark wind, rain, surface

21. PRACTICE ‘VARIABILITY’
▪ Repetition more likely leads to immediate performance
improvements. Why?
▪ Variability (Repetition without Repetition) more likely leads to
long term learning, retention and transfer. Why?
▪ VariabilityVs Repetition. So which path to take??
▪ Mix up kicking distances and angles.
▪ Consider player to make a tackle or take a mark before
kicking.
▪ ‘Win shift, lose stay’ as a practice method.
