The Importance of Sensitivity and Attunement in Skill Development

Skill development requires athletes to become highly sensitive to information and attuned to their environment. This enables them to pick up on important cues and affordances that can guide their actions. Anticipation, for example, is a heightened sensitivity to potential action opportunities based on the athlete's familiarity with the environment and opponents. Skilled intentionality emerges from this attunement, allowing athletes to perceive and respond effectively to the dynamic and ever-changing demands of their sport.
