omission - "the way you have in practice"

“I want you to play just the way you have in practice,” Coach Frensky said.

I found this sentence.. and got a little confused.

the way you have in practice
= the way you have played in practice 

I think, it was originally "have p.p." form, but p.p. is omitted.
Am I right?

Yes. It is assumed because the verb "play" is already in the main clause.
