In this episode I took the opportunity to capitalize on topics discussed with recent guests (Coleman Ep. 3 & Tyler Ep. 5), those topics were things the games-based approach, constraints, variability, blocked practice and random practice and types of learning. At the root of all that is motor learning and skill acquisition, I go over what exactly motor learning is and the science behind it. If we actually look at the science and understand what motor learning is then the traditional approach to training simply isn't getting us better, the games-based approach is. I talk about the science but keep it very consumable, as well as giving some example of how we can apply these approaches and concepts. I hope the way I explain this stuff is easy enough to consume and that you're able to takeaway some key things and apply them to your own sessionsReferences and resources:Skill acquisition (good entry article): https://www.scienceforsport.com/skill-acquisition/Great video with Kyle Newell on motor learning: https://trainugly.com/portfolio/specificity-improving-the-learning-process-with/ Great resource for all things motor learning: https://thelearnerlab.com/train-ugly/Rob Gray website: https://perceptionaction.com/Way of champions podcast with Rob Gray: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/250-rob-gray-phd-how-to-teach-movement-improve-skill/id1223779199?i=1000544561093Mastery Hoops: https://www.masteryhoops.com/People to know:Nikolai BernsteinRob GrayKyle NewellCarol Dweck Dr. Elizabeth and Robert Bjork
