The Transfer Principle suggests that learning and performing one activity affects the performance of related skills and activities. This principle is essential for designing practice strategies that have the greatest positive impact on competitive performance. Correctly applying this principle saves valuable training time while accelerating results.

Transfer of learning is defined as the influence of previous experiences on learning new skills or performing skills in new contexts. According to the transfer principle, effects may be positive, negative, or zero when there is no influence at all. The goal for sport coaches is to select practice activities and use instructional techniques that optimize positive transfer to the competitive arena.
