Why is intrinsic feedback more useful to an experienced performer than to a beginner?

An experienced performer knows what a correct movement feels like. A beginner lacks this feel and cannot yet tell good technique from bad.

What is extrinsic feedback?

Extrinsic feedback comes from outside the performer. A coach, a team-mate, a video or a scoreboard can all provide it.

Why do beginners rely on extrinsic feedback?

Beginners cannot yet judge their own technique from the feel of it. A coach can point out errors the beginner is unaware of.
