Embrace the Art of Flexible Coaching

Focusing on outcomes rather than techniques enhances athlete adaptability and self-organization. Coaches should emphasize key invariances while guiding athletes toward these goals. However, challenges like determining the optimal duration and variability of drills, and accommodating differing athlete abilities, highlight the nuanced decision-making required in coaching. The variability in athlete performance complicates the coaching process, reinforcing the need for individualized approaches and continual adjustments within drills.
