Abstract
Tactics play a crucial role in sports; however, coaching presents various challenges. This study examined the impact of utilizing practice notes created with a digital pen capable of simultaneously recording and playing back both audio and texts/drawings on tactical understanding. The participants were high school rugby team members and coaches. The results of a four-month practical investigation revealed that the learning experiences of tactical understanding in high school rugby teams manifested through four categories: awareness of the difficulty of tactical understanding, exploration of experiential facts, contemplation, and integration into practice. It is speculated that the utilization of the digital pen not only encouraged a deeper understanding of tactics through the formation of a meta-perspective but also led to learning strategies aimed at activating knowledge.

Understanding and practicing tactics play crucial roles in sports coaching (Uchiyama, 2007). Notably, tactics in ball games are considered among the most influential factors in determining athletic performance (Aida, 1994). However, teaching tactics in actual coaching situations presents several challenges. For instance, difficulties arise when applying and practicing a tactic in different situations over time, even if a player successfully practices the tactic on the field during instruction (Kitamura et al., 2014). Bruer and others have pointed out the challenge of teaching problem-solving strategies when students could solve a problem immediately after instruction but struggled to apply it spontaneously later, suggesting that knowledge might not be effectively activated (Bruer, 1993/1997).
