The content requirements for specific sports skills mainly include

With solid special basic technology, adapted special cognitive system, flexible scene adaptability, systematic awareness of injury prevention and control, and compliant rule application literacy, there is no situation where meeting the standards in one dimension is considered qualified.

The current weight of these dimensions has been debated in the sports circle for many years. Most of the old competitive training coaches from traditional sports schools believe that "technique comes first" and believe that the polishing of basic skills should account for 80% of the entire training content. The remaining cognition and adaptability are naturally acquired through playing too many games. After all, professional competition requires stable movement accuracy and muscle memory, and you may almost miss out on a medal.； But now coaches in mass sports and campus sports prefer "scenario priority". They believe that for the vast majority of ordinary people, being able to participate and have fun is the core. There is no need to worry about whether the movements are 100% standard. Both views are actually valid. The core difference is that the goals of learning special sports are different.

When I led the junior high school basketball team to play in the city competition two years ago, I met a good prospect. His movements of shooting the ball against the wall and shooting at fixed points were better than the coach's. In normal training, he ranked first in the team in running back and forth and touching the height. When it came to the official game, he couldn't even move through half the court. If the opponent pressed him, he would panic and lose the ball. To put it bluntly, he lacks the ability to adapt to situations. He only practiced static technical movements. No one taught him how to observe defensive positions, how to control the ball under confrontation, and he also couldn’t figure out where to run under different tactics. This is a typical case of special cognition and scene adaptation. He has not kept up, and no matter how good his skills are, he cannot perform them well.

To be honest, when many people learn special sports, they subconsciously regard "practicing movements" as the only content. No one really takes injury prevention and control seriously. I have a friend who runs a marathon. He can run a half-marathon in 1 hour and 40 minutes, which is definitely among the best in the amateur running circle. He just can't change the habit of heel landing, and he can't be bothered to practice core strength to unload. After running for a year and a half, he was diagnosed with a second-degree meniscus injury. Now he doesn't even dare to run fast and can only walk briskly every day. In fact, if he had just started learning to run, he would have considered landing cushioning, core strength, and post-running injury prevention and control as required items, instead of just focusing on pace and cadence training, he would not have reached this point at all. Not to mention for competitive athletes, training teams at or above the provincial level have already incorporated sports rehabilitation and injury prevention into their daily training plans. After all, treating injuries after training may delay the entire career.

Another point that is often misunderstood is that many people think that rules are the referee's business and have nothing to do with their own skills. In fact, rule application literacy is also a core component of special skills. Take basketball as an example. Reasonable use of physical confrontation to cause fouls and shorten the time of the final attack. Football's anti-offside tactics, deliberately kicking the ball to the opponent to earn side kicks, and badminton's side kick challenges. These are all skill applications within the scope allowed by the rules. They are not "playing smart" or "playing dirty" at all. There was a child in the school team I coached before who practiced shooting fakes from beyond the three-point line. When the final points difference was tight in several games, he relied on tricking the opponent to take off and commit fouls to get free throws to score go-ahead scores. Parents of opponents also came to complain on the sidelines, saying that we teach children to be opportunistic. In fact, this is what should be learned in special skills. Being able to understand the rules clearly means that you understand the performance of this sport.

Of course, these dimensions are not completely separated. When you practice basic skills, you may have figured out the rules by the way. If you encounter several injuries during a game, you will naturally pay attention to prevention and control. There is no need to learn one by one step by step. If you are just an ordinary hobbyist and want to meet up with friends to play ball and run on the weekends, then there is no need to adhere to standard movements. It is enough that you can have fun and not get injured. ； If you really want to take a professional route and get good grades, you will definitely need to hone your basic skills to muscle memory, which is almost impossible.

To put it bluntly, sports-specific skills are never about memorizing the essentials of movements. When you actually stand on the field and pick up the equipment, you can play the sport comfortably and well without hurting yourself. This is the standard.
