07

Choose the drill that answers your last mistake

If a bowling match went poorly because single pins remained, practise spares instead of only chasing powerful opening throws. If Tennis rallies end on mistimed contact, returning and swing timing make a better starting point than target placement. Each training group separates parts of the sport. Keeping a note of the skill being practised makes improvement visible even when the medal has not changed yet.

08

Transfer one change back to the sport

After a useful training attempt, play the corresponding sport with one adjustment in mind. This checks whether the drill solved the actual match problem. For example, keep the same release in a Bowling frame or wait for the familiar contact point in Baseball. If the change does not transfer, compare the situations and choose a more specific drill rather than repeating every training activity in order.
