Book excerpt: "There's more to helping participants develop motor skills than just coming up with relevant drills. If you want participants to succeed, you need to structure learning tasks to keep them interested and engaged. Although there are many resources available to help teachers and coaches improve their curriculum, teaching skills, and management, little has been written about the critical issue of effective task design ... until now." "This text takes the most current research on learning and teaching movement activity and translates it into practical, down-to-earth suggestions for coaches and teachers. Using examples both in the gym and on the playing field, the book shows teachers and coaches alike how to develop instructional tasks that maximize students' learning and retention."--BOOK JACKET.
