And the athlete who plays on a team and practices at home will out-perform their peers who don't practice at home.
I can't believe I have to say this. This is obvious. Every coach knows this.
It's not an exclusive-OR problem.

Boxing for example (sport I did and helped coaching), unless you are top of your field, isn't recommended to do a lot of 'at home' training as you develop bad habits without supervision (dropping the defense, telegraphing your punch a bit) as you don't have the feedback. Thes mistakes have to be then 'corrected'
Boxing isn’t a good example because it’s a combat sport which means there is far more training than competing.
When I played football the ratio was close to 1:1 - games played to hours trained and something like 150-200:1 for when I was boxing.
