Programs to enhance motor skills must incorporate some goals related to the development of consciousness of body motion.
We investigate how an expert javelin thrower sets goals in relation to consciousness of body motion. We conducted in-depth, semi-structured, open-ended interviews with an expert javelin thrower who used superslow-motion videos and continuous photography to improve his skills.
We found that the expert javelin thrower set goals through the following three phases of process: (1) understanding the goal, (2) setting a direction for learning, and (3) refining his consciousness of body motion. He does so by studying the discrepancy between his physical appearance (as recorded through photographs and videos) and consciousness of body motion.
The results also show that shared awareness between the trainee and coach regarding the image of the motion and consciousness of body motion are crucial for skill development.
