How Repetition Builds Skill
Repetition gives the brain and body opportunities to strengthen a performance pattern. But repetition alone is not enough.
The danger of reinforcing poor patterns
If a person repeatedly performs a task incorrectly, the repetition may reinforce the wrong pattern.
Effective repetition includes
Correct technique; attention; feedback; adjustment; sufficient recovery where relevant; increasing difficulty; variation across realistic situations.
The goal
Not simply to perform the same action many times. The goal is to make better performance increasingly reliable.
Knowing your skills is useful. Understanding where those skills come from, which abilities may support them, and where they can take you gives you a much clearer picture.
