Player Development Spiral Curriculum
• Learning is a long term process
• Need to revisit• Build upon layers• Add new constraints
‘‘Once the foundations are in place you need
to keep checking them’
24
• Players’ ‘need’ or ‘want’ to learn.• Players learn far more readily if they are
aware of the benefits of putting energy into their learning
• Learn from ‘doing’• Learn from ‘experience’• Making sense - ‘getting one’s head round
it’… ‘digesting’
