Summary 1.Time spent in games and scrimmages is negatively related to skill achievement. Instructional and practice time should be spent performing individual skills, not games or "simulations." 2.Individual appropriate practice is the single most influential variable associated with skill achievement. Since most sports have skill as a primary component for performance, BTT (beneficial training time) would seem to be a major requirement for effective coaching. 3.Appropriate skilled practice (blocks of repetitions with feedback organized in a developmental progression) should be maximized.
