Adapting Strategies in Sports and Coaching

Peter Arnott shares his background in golf coaching and his innovative approach to practice and skill acquisition. He highlights the importance of understanding how the environment shapes behavior and advocates for a holistic coaching approach. Pete discusses his co-authored books on the constraints-led approach to golf coaching and Tiger Woods' practice methods, offering valuable insights into the differences between blocked and mass practice, the role of technology in coaching, and the importance of meeting players at their current development level.

In this part of the conversation, Jay and Pete explore non-negotiables for golf practice, the significance of playing more golf, and the concept of "studying for the wrong exam." They delve into the use of think-aloud techniques, the role of caddies in golf, and the application of systems thinking in coaching. 

Pete also shares stories about his mentors and his involvement in a coaching cohort focused on philosophy.
