But if I see something that I think we need to drill, I do it.<\/p>\n<p>But we drill differently. Like our drilling is also ecological because I\u2019m not showing you: \u201cYou do this, you do that, you do this\u2026\u201d<br \/>I\u2019m saying: \u201d want you to achieve this and that with this and that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Murovanni explained that building training environments rather than dictating technique might sound simpler, but\u2026<\/p>\n<p>If I just create the environment where you have to do it more or less, it\u2019s easier to force you to practice the skill.<br \/>But this is the trick. I think this is way harder than doing techniques.<\/p>\n<p>That difficulty, he argued, is where most coaches struggle:<\/p>\n<p>Most people that do this that I see suck at it. They suck at it.<\/p>\n<p>I think for me it\u2019s perfect because I understand what I want to achieve and I can design and I can change the design.<br \/>But people are just copying it or doing positional rounds. They don\u2019t really understand what they do.<\/p>\n<p>For Murovanni, the real measure of whether the method is being applied correctly comes down to outcomes:<\/p>\n<p>In the end the question is, is it helping your athletes and your students?<br \/>If yes it\u2019s correct, but from my understanding, from what I see, most people don\u2019t do it properly.
