The document discusses the concept of transfer of learning in sports. It provides examples of how an athlete in the heptathlon, Jessica Ennis, uses fundamental skills like throwing, jumping, running in multiple events. It also defines the 6 types of transfer as negative, positive, proactive, retroactive, bilateral, and zero transfer. Coaches can encourage effective transfer by having athletes practice the original task, providing realistic practice situations, ensuring the initial task is learned well before progressing, and making athletes aware of how skills may transfer.
