Praise the error

„The ability to stop and consider a response, to use the experience of a wrong choice as a guide in making the next decision, relates to executive functions (…). Learning from our mistakes is profoundly important in everyday life, and Hillman’s study shows that exercise – or at least the resulting fitness levels – can have a powerful impact on the fundamental skill.“ (out of Ratey, J. „Spark“, 2008, p 26)

One dimension game

One-Dimension-Games
In the one-dimensional games, the focus is on a particular block of tactics (see the gap …). Specific frames and conditions guarantee a game in small, manageable teams, on different goals, in different designed gameareas and with certain rules to allow recurring game situations with a high number of repetitions.

This is done in terms of implicit learning. The children should learn, without explicit coaching interventions from the coach. creatively and thereby surprisingly

„An isolated technical training only results in the problem that techniques cannot be related to situations and therefore a tactic cannot be trained. We know from studies that technical training is not as effective as combined technical-perception training and cannot be applied as variable. It is important that children Teaching Tactical Creativity – Dr. Daniel Memmert weiterlesen

Overworking pushes creativity

college student studyingWenn es beim Bewegungslernen und im Training gelingt, den präfrontalen Cortex und damit das Nachdenken über eine Bewegung zu dämpfen, dann erhöht das die Kreativität bei der Problemlösung und damit der Entwicklung einer adäquaten Schlagtechnik.

Im Differentiellen Lernen begegnen wir diesem Phänomen ebenfalls, wenn wir vom „Flutschen“ oder vom „Flow“ reden.  Dieser Zustand tritt vor allem im Zustand der Ermüdung während einer Trainingsform ein. Beschrieben habe ich das in einem Beitrag zur  Defokussierungs- oder „low-arousal-theorie“.

stockTalking about differencial learning (DL) I have no problems to use this in a trainings with players over ten years. Some drills out of DL you can see on our youtube channel.

Today the kids (group with kids from 7 to 9 years) gave me an idea to use the DL in tennis10s. One of my favourite metaphers or analogies in coaching kids is the „tiger“-metapher: standing like a tiger and waiting to catch the „loot“, what means to attack, to hit the ball and shout out loud like a tiger, what gives them an imagination of the tennis basic position.

Today, some of the kids were a bit tired and stood on the court like some old men, using their racket like a walking stick. That inspired me to tell them, to stand like „an old man/woman“, using the racket like a „walking stick for elderly people“. This task made, from the first moment, a big difference to nearly everything we had done before! Apart from that it had a special motivation for the kids!
