Skill Transmission, Sport and Tacit Knowledge

Meer over het boek

Exploring the transmission of skills in sports, this sociological study emphasizes the significance of tacit knowledge alongside verbal instruction. It highlights how physical demonstration can effectively convey complex skills, such as developing a "feel for the water," which cannot be easily communicated through words alone. By focusing on the role of practice, repetition, and experiential learning, the book sheds light on how athletes acquire essential abilities essential for performance.
