Improving rugby skills

Improving rugby skills - be sure you know a good way to go about it. How to improve skills even when you don`t improve your rugby skills.

Gaining skills - how to improve

gaining skills is straight forward...
...find out how to do it....
....do it until you`re skilled at it!

Find out how

There are a few ways to find out how...

Follow instructions from someone who knows. This could be in person, from a book or from a dvd / video.
Watch someone with rugby skills and follow what they do
Experiment and create your own skill

You must be sure that the example is worth following!

How?...

...examine and compare a number of sources,

It`s possible there are a number of good ways of achieving the same thing...or some more suitable for certain situations or conditions...
... you`ll benefit...you`ll know them all...
...and you will know which is best in the circumstances

It`s true...
...sometimes you spend time...
.. on something which turns out unsuitable...
...or some instructions are poor...
...but you benefit anyway...
...you know more about the source!...
...and you improve your skill...
... - the skill of learning a new skill...
... - you`ll know better next time...
...maybe explore the source more...
... before you commit time and effort...
... to improving rugby skills

Do it until you`re skilled

Take every opportunity to get a wide variety of experience.

If you have previously done something similar you may be already semi-skilled at the new task.

Break the skill into parts...
Aim to be able to perform each part perfectly
You will find parts easy to master...
..allowing more time to concentrate on any weak parts

...frequently put all the parts together...
... and perform as one skill

Improve your rugby core skills by...

Observe the model - how is it done perfectly
Perform the action...aiming to perfectly copy the model
Assess what you did - was it perfect
If not perfect - adjust and improve what you did
If perfect - do it again!...and again!!
Keep repeating these steps

Remember the performance of the skill in a game will reflect the performance of the skill in practice....

The more you frequently do it perfectly in practice...

...then the more you will do it perfectly in the game.
