The Journey from Spoken Language to Reading Skills

In this episode, Steve Kwan welcomes back Francesco Fonte for an in-depth exploration of what Francesco calls the “timeline of coaching:”

For coaches: INFO → SKILLS → GAMES
For athletes: GAMES → SKILLS → INFO

Francesco explains how effective Jiu-Jitsu instruction should reverse the traditional info-dump model: instead of starting with detailed techniques, coaches should design games that develop essential skills, which only later become associated with specific concepts and information.
