Description
Elite athletes find themselves in the situation of constantly trying to improve their potential in that sport that it exercises at the international level to be able to compete and improve its results; vis-à-vis their opponents. To its help, it has coaches who explain in different ways how it can improve their executions. The practitioner must read up on how something can be implemented in an optimal way or learn through instructions and that procedure is called theoretical knowledge. However, this knowledge must be converted by the practitioner into practical knowledge in order to be able to carry out the movements. This study wants to focus on practical knowledge and what is usually called the tacit knowledge. What the study wants to find out is how athletes at the international elite level understand their own movements and how they communicate this knowledge.Purpose and issues
