The Talent Equation Podcast

In this episode I am joined by Shawn Myszka and Tyler Yearby from Emergence to disuss their recent paper co-authored with Keith Davids entitled 'Being Water: how key ideas from the practice of Bruce Lee align with contemporary theorizing in movement skill acquisition'. We discuss his famous quote 'fear someone who has practiced one kick ten thousand times' and explore how he may have meant for us to adapt and be 'like water', rather than trying to perfect technique. We also touch on the philosophical boundaries of an ecological worldview, the concept of 'one-touch play' in soccer, Finally, we explore Bruce Lee's work and words, and how they are a testament to his ideas.Chapters:(0:05:59) - Exploring Bruce Lee's Movement(0:10:51) - 'Jeet Kune do' Origins and Meaning(0:24:56) - Adaptability and Ecology in Martial Arts(0:32:02) - Exploring the Principles of Ecological Dynamics(0:37:32) - Exploring Ecological Dynamics(0:51:20) - The Challenges of Evolving Ideas(1:00:36) - Bruce Lee's Influence on Movement(1:11:32
