5 Ways To Help Learning Transfer From Practice To Game Play

 

  1.  Design game problems for your players to solve. The players should have to make group and individual decisions to solve the task. No predetermined route / routine. 

 

  1. Simplify the game problem to shine a light on certain moments if the broader more chaotic game doesn’t hit on the game moment you want at a high enough frequency. 

 

  1. Give players time to work in those game moments. Let them explore, fail and try again. 

 

  1. Improve intensity, competitiveness with a consequence for losing. This will also create a better learning opportunity for the athletes. 

 

  1. Coach should provide support between reps, ask the players questions, provide video for them to review to continue their search for solutions. Be a guide, provide support without interfering in the learning process.
