It would seem that expert movers have the most repeatable skill sets. If you watch Steph Curry shooting a free throw, Dustin Johnson swinging his driver, or Tom Brady casually throwing a football you might be in awe of the repeatability of their skill. However, looks can be deceiving as these expert movers actually have more variety in the way they execute those skills than meets the eye. Having a multitude of ways to execute a skill is beneficial for a variety of different reasons. You can use this variability to bypass fatigue, navigate dynamic environments of sports, and continue to refine the skill as movement quality changes with an aging body. I’ve found that people who practice a skill by trying to find complete repeatability with no variance lose out on this dynamic, reactive, and varied ability that true experts have when it comes to skill adaptation. Movement variation is a training tool we use to provide varied constraints into training so that you can practice this and move closer to expert level movement ability.
