I have been sitting on this Twitter post for a while now which could not back up why you need these training drills anymore.
The lower tweet is the one we're looking at:
Typically a result of classic “shooting drills”, where a player makes a ton of shots w/out any cognitive components/strategic constraints yet then evidences a methodical slow collection to release impacting space-time to shoot@bballbreakdown pic.twitter.com/bv9sjOzPum— BBiomechanics (@BBiomechanics) October 15, 2019
Yes it's of basketball but the implications between training and game day performance are exactly the same.
In layman's terms the original post is saying that because of typical shooting drills that we've all seen of NBA players shooting repeats of the same shot for countless reps all in a row without any interference at all is not the best way to prepare for games where there are 9 other players to counteract with every single movement you make during a game.
Lonzo Ball has a weird ass shooting style which is fine but the tweet is also saying that in training he has all the time in the world for his shot release but in games with a defender close to him that time gap closes dramatically, taking away his regular shot release time, rushing his mechanics and poor shooting ensues.
The bandwidth for sub-optimal mechanics for Lonzo Ball is way lower then most players because he's so far away from what would be classed as "good enough" mechanics so keeping defenders close to him will keep him shooting 35% until he can clean this up.
For Aussie Rules Football this is what it's essentially saying:
By using unopposed, low to zero chaos, linear cone-to-cone drills, all of the sensory information that you absorb, calculate and reorganised in the form of what you do and when on game day, is non-existent.
Your players and the actual drill might look great in these types of drills but it is doing very little for most players to transfer to improved performance on a Saturday.
You are rehearsing current skill levels rather then improving upon them.
Local/amateur footy is known for being 20 - 30 years behind in coaching/player preparation so come join me in 2020 and train accordingly.
