The fundamentals of an Revisiting that has hit a palette in performance has decreased remedial work will help bringing back the athletes ability back to where they were by just going back and starting from the basics again. When letting go of old habits all three stages must be revisited of the motor learning process and then going through a relearning process (cognitive) then the associative stage, which is frustrating to do.
