Coaches and athletes alike can be too quick to blame a weakness on one specific root cause (or simply link it to insufficient practice doing the task). In reality, holes in an athlete's game can be highly complex and multi-faceted. In this video I break down a framework for identifying weaknesses, analyzing their root causes, and then correctly prioritizing our training to make the most amount of progress. Remember, we want to work top down in the way we correct weaknesses (from the most relevant to our outcome to the least), but then we must work bottom up in our attempt to fix root causes. Failure to apply one of the two will cause a drastic misapplication of training and provide inefficient progress.
