One of the best ways to teach anticipation is to teach using SILENCE!

Why?

OK, here it is: my rationale for using SILENCE in sports. I have been training in silence, starting in 2003, with unreal results. I don't do it all the time, but I probably should…

When you eliminate auditory cues, what happens? Your other senses take over. In this case, you rely more heavily on the other senses – in this case, one in particular.

Which ONE of the five (now four since we have removed audition) primary senses will you rely upon most in the absence of audition?

What will the athlete be forced to do? (This forces one to develop game sense / anticipation skills, through experience…)

Thoughts?

More later…
