Master coach Jim Stone tackles a critical part of the game: How motor learning works and how to teach proper movement patterns.
Motor patterns encompasses how players move on the court through different skills. Oftentimes, players tend to gravitate towards whatever is easiest, rather than what's most efficient or powerful. Because of this, proper movement patterns must be taught and tweaked repetitively through consistent coaching.
When teaching proper movement patterns, it's critical to SHOW proper skills rather than simply VERBALIZE direction. Stone shares drills that focus on proper movement patterns, communication and consistent coaching.
