Examining the Progression of Motor Skills in Coaches and Athletes Through out the Lifespan

Abstract

To perform activities requiring motor skills, the joints and body parts must be moved voluntarily in order to achieve the intended outcome. To assist their players in performing to the best of their ability, coaches now work to develop their players' capabilities. This essay aims to shed light on the subjects discussed in the review papers, such as the progression of motor skill development over the lifespan, the significance of motor skill development in athletes, the role of coaches in developing athletes' motor skills, the effects of developing athletes' motor skills on athletic performance, and the connection between developing athletes' motor skills and injury prevention. For the purpose of this research, a number of recently published articles from various journals were carefully examined and adopted from 2015–2023. The articles that were taken into consideration were the ones that suited the study. Coaches and athletes alike must work on developing their motor skills since it enhances stability, performance, injury prevention, and overall health. Coaches should be aware of this growth so they can establish goals for their athletes more efficiently. Researchers advise beginning athletes to master basic motor skills before participating in sports, that coaches be prepared to mentor players, that more research be done on the earliest developmental phases, and that the role of skill development in athlete injury prevention be broadened.
