Abstract
In scenes of coaching practices, a variety of coaching terms are used by coaches and performers. The key word of the current study “waiting” and the words which involve “waiting” are often employed as coaching terminologies. On the other hand, it is considered that there are occasions where the actual meaning of these words is not truly shared or effectively communicated between speakers and listeners. The current study is a case study of phenomenon “waiting” and analyzed the meaning and fact of this phenomenon from phenomenological movement theory point of view. When a particular movement occurs too early, there are occasions where the timing could not be fixed by “waiting” or “holding”. For example, there are situations where “waiting” itself is technically not possible. Moreover, there are situations where “waiting” is not technically difficult but performing such technique at correct timing is difficult and could lead to a dangerous failure. In the current study, it is found that occurrence of knack is essential to perform “waiting” at the correct position and timing to solve such problems.
