Not sure
if complexification is a word in the English language but I see it more and
more in training especially with young coaches impressed with their knowledge.
It is easy to make things complicated and complex. It takes wisdom and understanding
to make things simple and clear. Training to improve performance is a relatively
straightforward process. The emphasis here is on process. It takes time for the
various training stimuli to adapt to the stress imposed. Simple is not easy,
it demands a deep understanding of the demands of the sport and the needs of
the athlete. Simplicity yields complexity, not to make it more complex than it
already is. Focus on the need to do activities and reap the rewards in competition.

What do you mean here with ‘simple’ and ‘complex’ exactly?
To stimulate basketball agility for example you can let kids dribble past cones or you could let them play tag while dribbling. Second exercise is more complex, but don’t think you mean it in this way.
