The most successful businesses have one thing in common: they never stop learning. They consequently execute their continuous improvement programs, based on bench-marking with their most successful competitors or even the best-of-best organizations even outside their own industry. So for example a top manufacturer aspiring to deliver world class services around his products will look at top service providers e.g. in the hospitality industry.
To what degree does sports science exploit the potential of learning from the best-of-best?
Lets look at golf. In order to develop a good swing, some basic capabilities are needed: flexibility, stability, hand-eye-coordination, etc.
Are there any studies that,
- identify the basic capabilities
- identify the best-of-best a golfer can learn from
- show how golf training could incorporate training practices from these best-of-best?
Yes we do because elite athletes cant be copied for novice one.
