Which term describes repeated practice designed to develop a skill, often used in training sessions?

• A. Drill
• B. Composition
• C. Dietary supplement
• D. Discrimination

Answer: (A)

Repeated practice designed to develop a skill, often used in training sessions is a drill. Drills are structured, goal-focused sequences where a specific skill or technique is practiced repeatedly to build accuracy, timing, and consistency. Through repetition, movements become more automatic, making it easier to perform them under game or match conditions. For example, a basketball drill might have players repeatedly shooting from a spot to reinforce proper form and rhythm, with feedback guiding improvements. The other options don’t describe this training method: a composition is putting parts together, a dietary supplement is nutrition, and discrimination is the ability to tell differences between stimuli.
