Summary

In this episode of the Adaptive Coach podcast, I speak with Dr. Job Fransen, a leading authority on skill acquisition and motor learning. We discuss the current state of research in skill acquisition, the challenges faced by coaches in interpreting academic literature, and the importance of rigorous research methodologies. Dr. Fransen emphasises the need for dynamic coaching practices and critiques the effectiveness of cognitive training interventions in sports. The conversation also touches on the publish or perish culture in academia and the prevalence of confirmation bias in research. Buckle up, this one is an eye opener!
