Understanding Athlete Intentions in Practice and Competition

Summary

In this episode, I speak with with Jordan Cassidy, a skill acquisition specialist and PhD student, about the complexities of coaching, the importance of reflection, and the need for creating positive learning environments. We discuss the differences between learning and performance, the myth of learning styles, and the significance of understanding values in coaching. Jordan emphasises the necessity of psychological safety and challenge in coaching, as well as the role of curiosity in reflective practice. The conversation also touches on Jordan's future aspirations in skill acquisition and coach development.
