From backyard games to international arena - A conversation on child development with Dr Ian Renshaw

Dr Ian Renshaw is widely regarded as one of the founding fathers of the constraints led approach to developing skill in sport. His research and publications have had a profound effect on the sports coaching world and opened the eyes of many coaches to an alternative approach to developing players.

In this episode we discuss...

- How Ian helped his son Matthew to develop skills in Cricket using a constraints led approach which culminated in him representing his country as a senior international
- Ian's thoughts on competition in kids sport and how it is driving coaches to use methods that aren't allowing children to fully explore their skill potential
- Why he thinks that most coach education is sub optimal and doesn't help coaches learn

And so much more...

I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.
