I read this in Jun 2005…..
‘…as we know there are known knowns ; the things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know, but there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don’t know we don’t know.
Donald Rumsfeld

He may well have known what he as talking about, unlike the vast majority of people listening to him, however we can apply this piece of political frippery to life in the gym. There are things about coaching which we know we know, or think we know, but what if those things which we know we know, we only know because someone else told us, whom we assumed as well. Then the things we think we know suddenly become things we don’t know that we don’t know. Furthermore there are also things we think we know but have never checked. So in addition to the things we thought we knew that we don’t actually know there are those things which we know we don’t know but haven’t bothered to find out and the things we don’t know that we don’t know………..,
So what is the answer ?
I don’t know, go and find out.
If you followed that little piece of nonsense, then you might ask, “How can you know which are the things you don’t know you don’t know ? “ You might as well ask “ How can I know the right questions to ask when I don’t know which answers I need ?”
Once again, go and find out. The more you read, the more questions you ask, the more chance you have of getting the answers you need and not the ones you want .
I am giving you a hand by publishing some coaching tips, but they aren’t there to hold your hand. There is a whole world of information out there, and once you start to access, you begin to realize how much you still have to learn, but you also start to find out the questions to ask.
The internet has hundreds of sites dedicated to sport science, gymnastics and other related activities. Do investigate.
