This article demonstrates how deliberate practice improves performance in athletes, suggesting essential strategies for coaches.
This article examines selected characteristics of deliberate practice (and other types of practice) so that coaches can teach their athletes to train more like expert (i.e., elite) performers and help them reach new levels of performance they never dreamed of achieving. It also provides a user-friendly guide for practitioners. By exploring and developing a better understanding of deliberate practice and its applications, coaches can add to their "coaching toolbox" and ultimately improve their coaching practice as well as their athletes' performance over time.
