Enhancing Motor Skill Acquisition & Learning | CSCS Ch. 8

I liked your examples for how practices can be broken down into whole and part, it really helps me understand these concepts.

Found this video helpful with reviewing all the sections in the readings for chp. 8. I saw many parallels to practicing methods some of my old coaches had in the past and used in practice and prepping for the season

I liked that you mentioned part practice being useful because you could then string together the things you practiced for one fluid movement

Great end to this four part series. Loved hearing about the different ways to teach specific movements, and the examples you gave for each one. I got to experience these teaching strategies in class when we were learning to olympic lift, and you broke it down into stages!

The idea feedback to basketball players shooting free throws is something I have checked out in the past. Its crazy the differences in data shows for athletes shooting percentages who have this feedback from a shooting coach who is watching every detail of their form and shot(inc %) compared to those who are just shooting X amount of ft shots and not tracking each shot in detail (lowered %)

Pure Part Training and your explanation of how you breakdown the practice. Start with jerk, the power clean, then the final clean and jerk. Easy explanation and easy to grasp after you explained it!

Feedback is so crucial when communicating with athletes which includes positive feedback and constrictive feedback.

I appreciated the examples and the in depth explanations about teaching specific movements.

This is very important and breaking down a movement into smaller steps is greatly beneficial to retain information. Chunking it down is something I will incorporate into my sports performance.

Great end to a series. I really liked this sports psych section, everything was very interesting and relatable.

I enjoyed learning about the different ways practice can be broken up in parts and the different practice schedules to enhance learning!

I have tried all of these different types of training and still do not know what I even like the most. I see each as beneficial and cannot pick the best one.

There are so many aspects of sports psychology and it was very interesting to me to see how it all comes together for an athlete. For this video in particular, I appreciated the explanation on the different way to enhance motor skills!

Using segmentation was super helpful in learning the snatch last week!

Part practice is a great way to reinforce good habits in any sport!

When I teach skills to new dancers, I will keep the forms of augmented feedback in mind to make sure I am not just focusing on whether or not they did the movement right, but giving them feedback on how they performed the movement.

The breakdown of the pure part and whole part practices was very interesting and made me think about some of the skills I'm proud about and what practices I used to attain them.

It was interesting to hear about the forms of augmented feedback. Will definitely keep in mind for the future

After taking education courses, it is interesting to see the carryover and differences in instruction and feedback with athletics.

This was definitely such a fascinating series, and I enjoyed it a lot! I like the variable practice, alongside practicing game like scenarios so that you are not a deer in the headlights when it is the real deal. This is how I grew up playing sports and it was very helpful. On weekends where we did not have tournaments we would do yoga and mind work in the morning as a whole club and the scrimmage as if we were at a tournament. This helped a lot!

I didn't realize that practice can be brokedown so much from whole vs part and then a further breakdown of part in 3 different ways. Thank you!

I like how you categorized each different learning strategy as every athlete is different in their desired method of learning a skill.

It is interesting to see how whole vs part practice can help an athlete seek better performance results.

I appreciate how detailed every aspect of this video is. I did not know how intricate the different parts of practice and training can be.

I find watching videos or live demonstration to be very helpful while trying to get better or increase my skill

I've never recognized how many components there are to practice and how they can enhance motor skill!

This video was great at highlighting different aspects of practice and training. Many of these aspects were new to me and was interesting to relate to my old sports training.

This idea about feedback and how it can be used is such an interesting concept. In one area it can directly influence the performance at hand and in another it can be used to learn from and applied in future activities.

The breakdown of each learning strategy was great! Not only every sport have its own learning strategy but each athlete as well. Understanding how to adapt each one to the athletes is very important

I appreciate how you discussed the different forms of feedback and what each one is better for -- knowledge of results vs knowledge of performance.

So cool to reflect on how these strategies were used during all of my sports practices growing up with taking time to learn movements and skills through breaking it down and training with each subcomponent and how we can implement these as coaches!

I really enjoyed how you went over feedback I know for me personally what used to work best was to allow me to watch myself so it is cool to also learn about the other types of feedback.

I've definitely have had coaches that weren't the best at giving any feedback, but I feel like I grew the most from coaches that were good at giving process feedback.

Was very interesting to learn the different types of feedback.

Nice to see really authentic content it does what it says on the tin

thank you!

I found random practice to be a really interesting training method since I've never tried it before, and I think it would be challenging to keep switching between different skills.

It is interesting to learn the actual ways to break down teaching movements. One of the most difficult exercises for people to pick up in the PT clinic I work in is the RDL, because the hip hinge is so foreign to them. Usually we'll end up breaking down the movement into different chunks and reducing the difficulty, so it is nice to see that this is what is recommended.

That is so cool, I never knew that coaching could be so complex and how the different type of feedback and instructions can be helpful or harmful for different athletes. Which type of practice is your favorite either to use or apply to others?

the different types of practice was somewhat a revelation to me. thanks!

I never would have thought that breaking a lift into segments would be something a sports psychologist would focus on but I can see now how it fits in!

As a gymnastics coach, I kept thinking of ways to apply this to the kids I am coaching, which was beneficial.

Personally, I have found that learning a new skill from watching someone else do it is rather effective

It is so cool how such small, specific cues can drastically improve an athlete's performance at a certain skill!

I think it is really interesting how whether feedback is concurrent or delayed affects the movement patterns so much!

I appreciated how you broke down each learning strategy as every athlete is different in their desired method of learning a skill!

It's great to reflect on how these strategies were applied during my sports practices growing up, where we took the time to learn movements and skills by breaking them down and training each subcomponent. It's exciting to think about how we can now apply these techniques as coaches!

Dr.Goodin you provided great tips on how we can get better at developing and refining our motor skills. You looked at techniques like focused practice, feedback, and staying motivated, showing how important both physical and mental approaches are for mastering skills. Great video!

I appreciated how you broke down effective methods for improving motor skills into sections, including whole and part practice, segmentation, simplification, fractionalization, and various feedback strategies. This video was super helpful.
