THE SCIENCE AND ART OF SPORTS TRAINING  (Paperback, Dr. Mukesh Kumar,Dr. Joseph Singh,Dr. Vikram Singh,Anita Pharswan)

For good anticipation there is no substitute for experience. Therefore, sportsmen must participate in many competitions and should face different opponents and situations. B. Selection of Correct Response This involves the process of selection. This depends on the ability of the sportsman to decide which will be the best response. In order to save time and to respond quickly it is better to link certain signals with certain responses. This can be done by devising appropriate drills and letting the sportsman practise these again and again. These drills, however, should not be highly automatized otherwise the sportsman is unable to change the response if the situation so demands. Quick selection of correct response depends to a great extent on the experience of the sportsman. In addition, it is also determined by quick thinking, correct perception of the situation, emotional control and creativeness.
