New Podcast - It's all about 'repetition without repetition rather than repetition after rep

Shawn Myzska (aka @movementmiyagi on Twitter) is a human movement specialist that has been using the ecological approach to the development of elite NFL players for the past 5 years.

In this honest and illuminating discussion Shawn shares his journey from being a "biomechanics junkie", largely driven by physiology and technique towards an approach that develops athletic abilities through the creation of scenarios which challenge the athlete's movement in relation to the activities of others.

It's a fascinating journey...

Podcast - Using 'periodised instability' to develop athletes

Danny Newcombe is Senior Lecturer in Sport Coaching and Physical Education at Oxford Brookes University as well as being Assistant Coach to the Wales Men's Hockey Team and coach to Southgate Hockey Club Men's first team in the England National Hockey League.

He is a genuine 'pracademic' in that he has the theory and he puts it into practice as well.

In this episode we discuss...

• The evolution of practice design from drills to games and everything in between

• The 'practice design framework' and how you can use it to devise practices that have the optimal amount of chaos and instability to facilitate learning

• How to ensure that you individualise your coaching by viewing each athlete as a different 'species'

3 podcasts for the price of 1

Here are the last 3 episodes of The Talent Equation Podcast for you in case you missed them

The first one is a conversation between myself and Nick Levett talking about our coaching journeys and reflecting on how bad we were in the early days...(apologies for the sound quality on this but it is worth persevering with.

The second one is a conversation with England U16 Hockey Coach, Marc Bourhill. Mark explains the transformation and 'rebirth he has gone through since finding the constraints led approach to coaching.

The third one is a really entertaining discussion with Dr Richard Bailey who lambasts the coach education community for educating coaches in things that have no scientific basis. His research showed that coaches are still using coaching methodologies that are no better than snake oil!

Enjoy!
