- As some may have heard, very excited to be joining @RedSox as a part-time skill acquisition specialist! Working across this storied organisation supporting player development, coaching and sports science ⚾️
- The more I think about sports decision making the more I believe we have it backwards - its not about reacting fast & taking the best option quickly. Its about acting to keep as many options open for as long as possible until one affordance is more inviting & a decision emerges.
- It's here! My new book on skill acquisition -- "How We Learn to Move: A Revolution in the Way We Coach & Practice Sports Skills" amazon.com/gp/product/B09… Available for order now.
- My attempt an infographic to organize my thinking about "variability of practice". Resource page coming soon...
- If you treat a movement skill (like a baseball or golf swing) like a fragile piece of glass that you should be incredibly careful with when you finally "get it down",not doing anything to mess with rythym or timing for example, it will invitably break into pieces on you..
- My first attempt at a CLA infographic :) Join us in just over two over 2 hours for our practice activity analysis that will look at this and other coaching methods.. youtube.com/watch?v=Ry1o78…
- New presentation - The Two Skill Acquisition Approaches: Key Differences
- Exciting announcement! My next book is coming soon (well, kinda soon...in a few months). It will focus on skill acquisition and development in coaching. Pre-order of the e-book version now. Paperback version will be released at the same time. amazon.com/dp/B0CW1GBF61
- “Let the ball be your feedback”. This is exactly what our research shows highly skilled hitters focus their attention on. Furthermore, we find that when you use drills to direct attention to the ball leaving the bat, hitting performance improves.
- Very excited for this to be finally coming out! A pretty profound result in my mind. Practicing a range of undesired outcomes (ie that would lead to “outs” in a baseball game) is better for skill acquisition than repeatedly practicing producing a desired outcome.
- Surprise, it's here!! My NEW book, the follow-up to "How We Learn to Move" is available NOW. "Learning to Optimize Movement: Harnessing the Power of the Athlete-Environment Relationship" amazon.com/dp/B0BPQYCRCS
