Charlie King's "New Rules" - 7 Essentials of the Full Swing Introduction
The "Old Rules" in golf instruction is to use a model to compare you to, show you your inadequacies and try to get you to look like this model golfer. The problem with this is it takes away your individuality and it is not how other sports (motor skills) are taught and learned. One of the "New Rules" I'm promoting and teaching is that motor skills are learned by breaking down the individual skills, becoming proficient at these Essential skills and then they come together for the total skill.
One example of many I can use is learning to swim. We know going in that our child is going to learn to 1) Hold their breath under water 2) Float 3) Kick their legs 4) Arm motion 5) Take breaths at intervals. They will learn these skills individually and then put them together in the shallow to gain confidence and compatence. Eventually they will swim in water of any depth.
