Skill in Sport : The Attainment of Proficiency Hardback
by B. Knapp
Part of the Routledge Revivals series
Hardback
Description
Originally published in 1963, Skill in Sport was addressed to students and teachers of Physical Education, to coaches interested in the more theoretical aspects of their work, and to all individuals who wished to find out the best ways to acquire skill in any particular game or sport.
Psychologists too may have found many of the examples and much of the discussion of interest to them. Practical issues are dealt with first and then the underlying theories are considered.
Individual differences, teaching methods, motivation, specialization, differences between games and activities such as swimming and shot-putting, are among the problems which are discussed against a background of experimental evidence and personal experience.
Many references are cited and many practical examples are given.
The book sets out to stimulate discussion, more precise observation and research and it provides a sound basis on which to build a more complete understanding of skill and its attainment. Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context.
