I’m seeing a lot of videos of academies showing kids dribbling thousands of cones! Executing any type of trick but there is a big issue here and I explain it in 5 main points!!!
If you are a champ on dribbling cones doesn't mean you are a good footballer! Isolated practice isn't transferable into the game “The neuroscience saying it at least for the last 30 years “
Let's start🛫
1. Lack of pressure: In a controlled environment like isolation training, athletes do not experience the same level of pressure or intensity that they would in a game situation. This can make it difficult for them to replicate the skills they have developed during isolation training when under pressure in a game.
2. Limited decision-making: Isolation training typically focuses on specific skills or movements, without taking into account the decision-making aspect of the game. In a game, athletes must make split-second decisions based on the actions of their opponents and teammates, which is not addressed in isolation training.
3. Lack of game-like scenarios: Isolation training often involves repetitive drills or exercises that do not mimic the dynamic and unpredictable nature of a game. Athletes may struggle to apply the skills they have learned in isolation to real game situations where they need to adapt to changing circumstances.
4. Different physical and mental demands: Games require athletes to combine a variety of physical skills, such as speed, agility, and endurance, with mental skills like focus, strategy, and communication. Isolation training may not adequately prepare athletes for the physical and mental demands of a game.
5. Team dynamics: In a game, athletes must work together with their teammates to achieve a common goal. Isolation training, by its nature, focuses on individual skills and may not address the teamwork and communication skills necessary for success in a game. Players who excel in isolation training may struggle to integrate into a cohesive team during a game.
