At every stage of life you have been learning and acquiring skills, from walking as a baby to driving a car as a teenager. The acquisition of skills is based on previous experience and will form the basis of further skill development. Basically, a skill you have previously learned is being transferred or adapted to a new skill.
Transfer of learning is the effect that the learning or performance of one skill has on the learning or performance of another. It can have positive or negative results. Transfer occurs when you learn a new skill or when you return to skills already known after learning a new one. If a coach can apply the technique correctly they can decrease learning time, thus maximising the use of the time available, develop relevant conditioned practices associated with the full competitive version of the sport and identify areas that may hinder learning.
