In the sport Ultimate Frisbee, tacit knowledge is key. I'd never heard of it before this article, but this makes a lot of sense, because it's a relatively new sport without a developed coaching system, and many adult players come to it as adults.
In college, the team tried to teach us explicitly and it made absolutely no sense. By playing for years, I've developed the simple instruction of "Stand where you do not want or expect the disc to go, and at the right time, run to where you do want the disc to go."
The part that takes hundreds of hours is understanding "where you want the disc to go" and that can't be explained clearly because it changes every five seconds. After 10 years, the answer is usually obvious to me, but a new comer has absolutely no idea why anything is happening or why they are not getting thrown to.
