Play Practice, 2e: Engaging and Developing Skilled Players

This text offers an innovative approach to teaching and coaching based on a thorough analysis of skilled performance and an understanding of the conditions under which people learn best. It shows how the strategies of simplifying, shaping, focusing, and enhancing can maximize learning and positively influence the attitudes of learners. The second edition also offers more practical examples and highlights how this pedagogical approach can be integrated into teaching and coaching preparation programs.
