Hi guys.
I am trying to learn Leg Spin - since quite a few years now. There's some improvement, but not much.
I really want to put all of my energy in learning the bowling technique.
I had put up a question on Quora - and this might sound something off the traditional set of advice and strategy that we talk about, but it does make sense - about learning new movements using deliberate practice.

I am trying to learn Leg Spin bowling in cricket but I am not really sure how to proceed. I require a good coordination for...
- jumping sideways
- balancing on the left foot
- throwing the ball with a specific wrist/finger jerk with a simultaneous rotation of hips and pivoting on left foot
- followed by taking the left arm backward to "absorb" the rotation.
I can't get all of these right, and I want to practice effectively, so that at-least my body learns to perform these actions instead of repeating mistaken actions again and again.
According to University of Utah: Sports 'n Science " Muscle Memory:
Repeating my problem again, I am just not sure how I use this knowledge in practising these specific actions?
- We can focus on one action at a time.
- We need a good attitude to let go of the bad shots/performances
- We need to register mentally the shots/performances where we got it right
- We can not mistake repeating ineffective movement with well performed practice. It just makes it difficult to unlearn specific actions.
How do I proceed?
