Getting as much instruction as possible allows the athletes to find what works best in today's game which might not be the same as the Pre-2000 game. You want to find techniques that keep up with the rules so you are not giving your opponent an unfair advantage. 2, Implementing the technique. Once you find the technique that works, the ability to manipulate and contort your body in such a way to perform the skill takes time and repetitions. A few athletes can implement the technique in one or two reps, a few more can implement them in one or two weeks. Plenty can implement them in one or two months. Some athletes are willing to pay the price. Some are not. 3, Being able to perform the technique when you have to. Many players can do the technique in practice or around their friends. The great ones are the ones who can perform under pressure. I work the athletes in such a way to get them to the point of being able to perform under pressure." |
