Coaches, have you experienced a talented player who is disruptive for the overall group? What should a coach do in such circumstance?
The #MScAppliedSportsCoachingUL cohort were joined by Matt Smith to discuss this issue.

Sophisticated planning is essential for high quality coaching, but what exactly does that look like?
We had 2.5 hours of a case study from Paul Kinnerk on the #MScAppliedSportsCoachingUL and could have easily listened for 2.5 more. Lesson learned for next year - thank you Paul🙏

Athletes should aim for successful performance (you’re correct; not perfection).
Coaches should not aim for perfect practice; as you say, not enough opportunities to learn there. Coaches should aim for an environment where success is just hard enough to achieve.
Is that in a better direction?

Very good questions.
“Perfect” comes from the original quotation; you are correct to challenge.
Success is solving the problem the moment presents effectively, efficiently and safely enough. Perfect is not the right word here.

Any suggestions on how to refine this summary of quality practice in sport are welcome.

Original version: Perfect practice makes perfect? Not so. The effortful pursuit of perfect results in a representative environment designed to make attaining such results difficult makes perfect. Not so catchy, but perhaps more accurate.

Perfect practice makes perfect? Not so.
The effortful pursuit of perfect results in an appropriately representative environment designed to make attaining such results suitably challenging makes perfect. But don't forget to just play around too.
