With the ever increasing availability of tracking and monitoring technology it is becoming easier and easier for an athlete to get feedback about their results and performance. But is the too much of a good thing? How does feedback influence the acquisition and performance of sports skills? Which type of feedback should be used and how often? Is providing biofeedback (e.g., heart rate, brain activity) effective? Can sounds and vibrations be used to shape movements?
