• Skill: A learned ability to bring about pre-determined results with maximum certainty. Think of it as learning to play a cool riff on your guitar.
• Ability: Natural aptitude or talent. It's like being born with a good voice, even if you've never had singing lessons.

🌎 Example: LeBron James has the ability (natural talent) for basketball, but he also spent years developing the skill to shoot three-pointers.

• Consistency: Producing similar results every time.
• Efficiency: Not wasting energy; smooth movements.
• Accuracy: Hitting the target or achieving the goal.

• Perception: Recognizing and interpreting information.
• Memory: Storing and recalling information.
• Coordination: Moving different parts of the body in a coordinated way.

• Cognitive Skill: Thinking skills like game strategies.
• Example: Deciding whether to pass or shoot in soccer.
• Perceptual Skill: Interpreting and making sense of information.
• Example: A goalie estimating the ball's path in hockey.
• Perceptual-motor Skill: Combining perception and movement.
• Example: A tennis player seeing an incoming ball and deciding when and how to swing.

• Example: A serve in tennis.
• Whole-practice means learning a skill in its entirety rather than in parts.
• It's beneficial because the whole movement becomes one fluid motion, like practicing a complete dance routine.
