  • Exploring direct instruction in the 'rainforest of learning' - a conversation with Ed Cope

    Dr Ed Cope is a Lecturer in Sports Coaching at Loughborough University in the UK. He has had lecturing positions in Sports Coaching at Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Hull. Ed has also worked at the English Football Association, where he was responsible for the design and development of their education courses.In this conversation Ed and I unpack an article that he has recently written with Prof Chris Cushion about 'Direct Instruction' which leads to some surprising conclusions about how we might think about instruction (hint: it's not instruction at all). Link to the article - https://impact.chartered.college/article/a-move-towards-reconceptualising-direct-instruction-sport-coaching-pedagogy/Link to an article about the principles of direct instruction - https://teacherhead.com/2018/06/10/exploring-barak-rosenshines-seminal-principles-of-instruction-why-it-is-the-must-read-for-all-teachers/

  • "Technical information is like crack to people" - a conversation with Adam Young

    15/10/2020 Duración: 01h38min

    Adam Young is a golf coach and someone who defies easy categorisation. He is one of the most knowledgable people about the technical aspects of golf and has a real in depth understanding of physics, bio-mechanics and physiology but he eschews all of that in favour of a coaching approach which has very little of that information present in the learning environment for the participant. He works in an extremely 'task led' way and uses constraints as a way to support a golfer to learn how to become more proficient in the game. His approach has built a significant following online and his book 'The Practice Manual' https://www.adamyounggolf.com/book/ is a fantastic companion to anyone wanting to learn the game. I hope you enjoy our conversation about coaching...

    Kathy Sierra is the name behind the fabulous @intrinzen Twitter account and the @Pantherflows Instagram account. Kathy has an amazing backstory including time as an exercise physiologist and owner of one of the biggest gyms in California to a career in video game design. More recently she spends her time using ecological principles to develop the movement capabilities of horses. As her website puts it..."We use the principles of exercise physiology, motivation science, and neuroscience in a specific, unique way to develop a horse that is intrinsically motivated to “dance” in true self-carriage. Not for us, but for himself. And all of the wonderful experiences we have the horse — from ground work to riding — are the beautiful, organic side-effect of helping the horse develop autonomy, mastery, and purpose through powerful postures and movements".It is absolutely astounding...as is this conversation....it really doesn't matter if you are into horses or not...trust me...you will not want to miss this conversatio

    18/02/2020 Duración: 01h26min

    Ben Strafford is studying for a PhD at Sheffield Hallam University under the guidance of the legendary Keith Davids. He is exploring how Parkour could be a 'donor sport' to a load of other sports in that it provides a range of dynamic action possibilities that are not based on 'movement norms' like gymnastics or athletics but are more about a human being interacting with an environment to develop novel movement solutions. This episode is a slightly different show in that I am joined by Marianne Davies (@Dynamicscoachi1) and James Vaughan (@jimivaughan) to discuss Ben's recent article about his research and pose some questions. Needless to say we veer off the track and explore some very interesting aspects!!Here is a link to the article http://shura.shu.ac.uk/21446/1/Strafford-ParkourAsDonorSport%28VoR%29.pdfHope you enjoy
