What is skill acquisition?
Skill acquisition focuses on teaching and learning skills needed for sports performance.
What is skill classification?
Skill classification helps coaches and athletes determine the best teaching and learning methods.
What are the types of movement skills?
Movement skills are classified by moment type, precision, and environmental predictability.
What are discrete skills?
Discrete skills are brief movements with a clear beginning and end.
Example: a throw, kick, or catch.
What are continuous skills?

Example: returning a tennis serve or surfing.
What are closed skills?
Closed skills are performed in a predictable, self-paced environment with no interruptions.
Example: tenpin bowling or archery.
What are fine motor skills?
Fine motor skills involve the use of small muscle groups to produce precise movements.
Example: shooting in archery or throwing darts.
What are gross motor skills?
Gross motor skills involve large muscle actions resulting in coordinated and powerful movements.
Example: throwing, hitting, or kicking.
How does motor skill development relate to participation and performance?
Motor skill development is crucial for a child’s overall development and well-being, promoting physical activity and sports participation.
What are barriers to movement?

What are enablers to movement?
Enablers positively affect a person’s movement skills, such as enjoyment of the sport or encouragement from others.
What are the stages of learning in coaching?
The stages of learning are cognitive, associative, and autonomous.
What characterizes the cognitive stage of learning?
In the cognitive stage, learners focus on understanding a new skill, making many errors.
Coaching strategies include simple feedback and demonstrations.
What characterizes the associative stage of learning?
In the associative stage, learners practice regularly to eliminate minor errors and refine movement patterns.
What characterizes the autonomous stage of learning?
In the autonomous stage, learners can perform skills almost automatically with little attention required.
What is a direct coaching approach?
A direct coaching approach is highly structured with explicit instructions and feedback.
What are the advantages of a direct coaching approach?
Advantages include efficiency for beginners, clear feedback, and predictable learning outcomes.
What are the disadvantages of a direct coaching approach?
Disadvantages include limited decision-making and creativity, and less engagement.
What is a constraints-based coaching approach?
This approach modifies constraints to encourage self-discovery and adaptability in athletes.
What are the advantages of a constraints-based approach?
Advantages include improved game awareness, decision-making, and engagement.
What are the disadvantages of a constraints-based approach?
Disadvantages include being less effective for beginners and requiring knowledgeable coaches.
