I’ve played quite a few sports growing up, and am recently trying to learn golf. There’s quite a bit of technique involved in a golf swing and then I got thinking “how do we know this is the right/most efficient way to swing?”. Same thing for a hockey slapshot, diving, etc. Who comes up with the “proper” technique and why is it standardized? Does it come the best performers, and then everyone mimics (like the famous high jump technique)?

The best I can reason, it’s a lot like so many other disciplines in life. There are some people on the leading edge who experiment, try new ideas & new things. Some of which fails, some of which catches on. And the rest of us learn from them.
