DEVELOPMENT
ENVIRONMENT
The environment is an important factor in allowing athletes to reach their optimal learning potential. It is important for athletes to be in a safe, supportive, and positive environment so they can feel comfortable and confident when learning new skills. When athletes are in an environment that encourages growth and development, they are more likely to take risks and learn new skills. The environment should also be physically and mentally stimulating, as this can help athletes stay motivated and engaged in their learning process. Finally, the environment should provide positive reinforcement and feedback to help athletes stay on track and continue to strive for improvement. By creating an environment that is conducive to learning, athletes can reach their full potential and become the best they can be.
ENGAGEMENT
Experiences create engagement. Engagement is necessary for optimal learning. When someone is engaged in their learning, they are more likely to retain and comprehend the material. Engagement is a state of being actively involved in an activity, and when someone is engaged they are more likely to be motivated to learn, ask questions, and look for additional information. Engagement also helps to create a positive attitude towards learning, which can lead to greater self-confidence and improved performance. When students are engaged in their learning, they are more likely to take ownership of their learning process, which is essential for successful learning.
EXPERIENCE
A positive experience has a significant impact on a person's mood, behavior, willingness to learn and ultimately their P&D (performance and development). It will also lead to increased satisfaction, increased happiness, and increased motivation to keep playing.
'Experiences' such as 1. Use of equipment, 2. Creative use of props, 3. Story-telling, 4. Analogy or other can bring difficult concepts to life and make them easier to remember. We encourage these types of experience in our teaching method to help demonstrate a concept or to help a student visualize the concept in a more tangible way.
External cues and analogy when delivered correctly have been proven to be some of the best methods when it comes not just to performing in the class, but remembering for future.
