This you can say is the most important training principle as the body adapts to stress in a highly specific way. The best way to improve your performance in a sport is to practice that sport. Improvement will only occur when you practice the skill correctly and incorporate new fitness gains into it.

The principle of specificity should be the central consideration in any training program designed to improve skilled performance.
