INSIGHT

Skill Learning as Exploration, Stabilization, and Exploitation

  • Human skill learning follows a spectrum: exploration, stabilization, and exploitation.
  • We explore new movements as children, then stabilize these movements as we grow.
  • Finally, we exploit those stabilized movements for various purposes.
  • This model applies to sports skills as well, just as it did when we learned to walk and then run to exploit that new skill.
  • This challenges the traditional coaching model that focuses on block practice or isolated skill development.
