Description
Train perception-action coupling: read a stimulus, execute the move.
The constraint
Coach holds up colored cones; each color = a move (red=cross, blue=between, etc.). Execute on call.
CLA principle
Direct perception of cue → action — no rehearsed script.
Coaching points
- React, don't anticipate.
- Eyes on the coach, not the ball.
Common mistakes
- Predicting the next call.
