Practice may arguably be the most important predictive factor of athlete success in sport. As such, designing and conducting effective practice sessions should be an essential element of coach education and development efforts.

In From Practice to Competition: A Coach's Guide for Designing Training Sessions to Improve the Transfer of Learning, Gibson Darden and Sandra Wilson provide practical, research-based recommendations for coaches to help them get the most out of their athletes at every practice. Easily transferrable across a variety of sports, this guide explores and applies transfer of learning concepts that coaches can use to better design and structure their training sessions. When implemented, these techniques yield greater positive transfer of their practices to the game.

Featuring sample scenarios, real-world examples, potential difficulties, and helpful tips for each of the key transfer of learning concepts, this book is the perfect guide to help coaches answer the important question of Will it transfer? when designing and conducting each and every practice session.
