When a training aid is used correctly, and skill performance suffers, where does the concurrent KP direct the student's attention?

• A. Away from what your body would feel/Towards the correct fundamentals
• B. Toward the sensations of the body
• C. At the feed-forward cue
• D. Toward the muscles being used

Answer: (A)

Concurrent KP works best when it shifts attention away from how the body feels and toward the movement’s outcome or essential mechanics. With a training aid used correctly, the learner’s focus moves to the fundamental aspects that drive the shot, rather than internal sensations, which helps the movement stay automatic and coordinated. Focusing on body sensations or which muscles are active is an internal focus and tends to disrupt performance, whereas directing attention to the external goal or key mechanics supports better execution.
