Mit „Targets“ kommt gleich der nächste Inner Coaching Drill im Skoaching-Format. Diesmal geht es um das Spielen auf Ziele und die Erkenntnis, dass ein externer Fokus motorisches Lernen leichter macht, als die Fokussierung auf Körperbewegungen.

There is a relationship between motivation, willingness to learn and the release of dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is released when an unexpected sense of achievement (under voluntary conditions!) is „self-caused.“ The bigger the dopamine boost, the greater the „prognosis error“, for example the difference between expectation of success and the positive event. This raises the stakes for a repeat of the experience and for more positive events.If I play a forehand ball unexpectedly with high speed and high accuracy at a target (see IC Drill „targets“), unexpected success and the dopamine boost motivate me, to repeat this.In animal experiments, it was found that rats overcome with a high level of dopamine barriers to come to a larger reward, while animals with a lower dopamine levels go the easier route and are satisfied with of the smaller reward.
