Task 1: Complete the following grid by filling in 4 skills from each phase which can
be applied to you. Pick any sport or combination of sports to do this.
Discuss which methods of improvement would you use to take a skill from the
cognitive phase to the autonomous phase? Does everyone in your group agree? Do
you all learn in similar ways? What do you think are the most effective ways of
learning the skills? How could you make best use of a skill which is in your
autonomous phase of learning?
