drill training

Repeated skill practice

Drill training is repetitive practice of specific skills or procedures until they become automatic.

Military recruits undergo drill training to march in formation; students do drill training in math facts or spelling.

The method prioritizes muscle memory and instant recall over conceptual understanding: The team's drill training paid off when they executed the play flawlessly under pressure.
