How does language affect skill? Is there “good” language and “bad” language? This video explains the relationship between language, attention, perception, and skill. Additionally, it will discuss the different types of cues (external, internal, somaesthetic, holistic). However, not all cue types are created equal. This will set the stage for WHEN to use which cue approach.

The framework I use is from: Davies, Marianne and Owen, Robin and Gottwald, Victoria and Singh, Harjiv (2024) Harnessing the power of attention: Exploring ‘focus of attention’ theories, practice, and myths. In: Myths of Sport Performance. Sequoia. ISBN 9781914110382. Here’s a downloadable copy.
