ATTENTION
LANGUAGECUEING
To understand the impact of coaching cues on skill
learning, we must first understand the role of attention
WE CAN ONLY LEARN FROM THE EXPERIENCES WE PAY ATTENTION TO,
THUS A COACH’S CHIEF RESPONSIBILITY IS TO FIRST…
CAPTURE KEEP DIRECT
ATTENTION IS A LIMITED CAPACITY RESOURCE
COACHES, LIKE BANKERS, GUIDE ATHLETES’ ATTENTIONAL INVESTMENTS
WE CAN ONLY ‘PAY ATTENTION’ TO #1 THING AT A TIME
Say the most with the least, provide
athletes with ONE CUE, one major
focus point at a time
Now that we know how much to say, the next
question we need to address is what to say.

NEUROMUSCULAR
Halperin et al., 2016
STRENGTH – FORCE PRODUCTION
CON: “go as hard & fast as you can”
INT: “contract your legs as hard & fast
as you can”
EXT: “push the ground as hard & fast
as you can”
Force: EXT (9i% | 3c%) > CON (5i%) > INT
“Research consistently shows that
external cues improve muscular force,
endurance, speed, and efficiency”
Porter et al., 2010
POWER – EXPLOSIVE FORCE PRODUCTION
INT: “Extend your knees as rapidly as possible”
EXT: “Jump as far past the start line as possible”
DISTANCE:
EXT (187.37 +/- 42.66 cm)
INT (177.33 +/- 40.97 cm)
“Research consistently shows that
external cues improve vertical and
horizontal jump performance”

INT: ‘‘Jump as far as you can. I want you to think about extending your knees as rapidly as possible’’
EXT: ‘‘Jump as far as you can. I want you to think about pushing yourself off as hard as possible from the floor.’’
WHAT ABOUT TECHNIQUE?
PRESSURE & CHOKING
Experiment 1 | Streak
Gray, R. (2004 & 2006)
Hitting Streak ↑ Errors
Hitting Slump ↓ Errors
Experiment 2 | Pressure
Gray, R. (2004 & 2006)
