Functional fixedness is a common cognitive bias that prevents us from seeing alternative, unconventional uses for everyday items, causing a mental block during creative problem-solving. By consciously challenging the fixed function of gym equipment, such as using the heavy bag for footwork or the speed bag for distance control, athletes can overcome this limitation and unlock new levels of skill and tactical development.
