What is the associative stage from coaching the beginning to the skilled athletes?
Physical Education -> Coaching from the beginner to the skilled athlete: associative stage Associative stage This is the practice stage. Usually, in this stage, the skill is getting closer and closer to the real or game situation. The learner is able to use more information about their performance and to adjust and change their own performance as a consequence of the information feedback from their own bodies, (proprioception) and that of the coach. The athlete can now recognise errors and starts to produce a more coordinated and smooth performance. This stage is often the most difficult to break out of, and in skiing it is called the intermediate rut. Because of the infrequency that most recreational skiers go skiing, it is difficult for them to achieve enough practice time and qualified feedback to actually become highly skilled and move to the next stage.
