In this episode, we brought back EPP Alumni - Shawn Myszka owner of Movement Mastery, and Korey Van Wyk S&C Coach at Northwestern University.
The three of us recently attended a conference in Phoenix, AZ that focused around Skill Acquisition so we decided to hop on to talk about all things Skill Acquisition and Movement. During this 75min talk, we discuss everything from what Repetition without Repetition means, misconceptions about Agility, how to progress Agility, the 3-B's of movement, and much more.
We also discuss concepts like Constraints Led Approach, Non-Linear Pedagogy, Ecological Psychology, and Dynamical Systems and how all of these can be applied to coaching movement and make our athletes take the skills we work on in practice and ensure the have greater transfer and retention.
Honestly, this was just us talking, without much of a script or outline - just shooting out questions and thoughts as they emerged. We really hope you enjoyed this discussion, and I would love feedback as I hope to make more upcoming podcasts along these lines - so feel free to shoot me over feedback to buildingbetterathletes.bba@gmail.com
Enjoy!
