Great sports coaches don’t believe that practice makes perfect, they believe that practice makes permanent. As repeated practice of a variety of moves, drills, plays, and formations in a sport like football make them easier for a player to recall, coaches should emphasize practice to produce muscle memory in their players.
The suggestion by great coaches, if true, most strongly supports which of the following conclusions?
A. Players can and should draw upon prior, ingrained experiences to perform better on the field.
B. At least some players perfectly recall every play after practicing it once.
C. Perfectly recalling every detail of a practiced play does not require repeated practice.
D. Generalizing from past experiences can be achieved with minimal commitment to repetition.
E. Consistent practice would be incompatible with the goals of any great sports coach.

As repeated practice of a variety of moves, drills, plays, and formations in a sport like football make them easier for a player to recall, coaches should emphasize practice to produce muscle memory in their players.
Premises:
Practice makes permanent.
Emphasize practice to produce muscle memory.
Possible Conclusion: Practice makes you better at something.
The suggestion by great coaches, if true, most strongly supports which of the following conclusions?
A. Players can and should draw upon prior, ingrained experiences to perform better on the field.
Yes. Because of practice, players can draw from ingrained experiences to perform better.
B. At least some players perfectly recall every play after practicing it once.
It's not the act of perfectly recalling every play but the subconscious kicking in.
C. Perfectly recalling every detail of a practiced play does not require repeated practice.
No. There is no recalling every detail. Its just generalizing experiences.
D. Generalizing from past experiences can be achieved with minimal commitment to repetition.
There is no 'minimial' commitment or any magnitude of commitment for that matter to generalize experiences.
E. Consistent practice would be incompatible with the goals of any great sports coach.
Quite the opposite. Consistent practice will be in line with the sports coach.

A. Players can and should draw upon prior, ingrained experiences to perform better on the field.
Correct inference, players practice which produces muscle memory, which they utilise on the field to perform better.
B. At least some players perfectly recall every play after practicing it once. - Incorrect, the question is not about who can recall perfectly after only 1 repetition.
C. Perfectly recalling every detail of a practiced play does not require repeated practice. - Incorrect, opposite of what is stated in the argument. The argument clearly says that repeated practice helps to increase muscle memory.
D. Generalizing from past experiences can be achieved with minimal commitment to repetition. - Incorrect, out of scope, no question about generalizing.
E. Consistent practice would be incompatible with the goals of any great sports coach. - Incorrect, opposite; in the argument the great coaches 'believe that practice makes permanent'.
