14 –Technique Change

Making adjustments to a heavily practiced, well established skill
can be one of the most difficult tasks required of an experienced
athlete. Although there can be several situations in sport for
which this is required (e.g., rule or/and equipment changes,
advancement to a higher level of play), there are a dearth of
empirical studies that have examined the processes underlying
successful technique change. In this episode, I explore what is
involved in: opening an athlete’s performance black box to get
the new technique in place and then hiding the key so that it is
resistant to the effects of pressure.
