Episode notes
INSIGHT

Representative Design Focus

  • Representative practice design emphasizes information over rigid movements.
  • It focuses on replicating the information athletes use in competition, like opponent movements and stadium noise.
ADVICE

Adjusting Practice

  • Adjust practice "representativeness" based on factors like athlete learning stage and time of day.
  • Avoid extremes; balance high-intensity, game-like practice with lower-pressure activities for confidence.
ANECDOTE

Pitching Machine Example

  • Using a pitching machine in baseball is less representative than facing a live pitcher.
  • The batter gets accustomed to predictable information, hindering skill transfer to a game scenario.
