This was possibly the greatest episode of a podcast that I've ever recorded. I was honored to be joined by Keith Davids, a PhD and Professor of Motor Learning at Sheffield Hallam University, and Kevin Cann (Coach of Precision Powerlifting Systems).

Join us as we talk all things skill acquisition, the history and study of motor learning, bridging theory to practice, and the development and role of expertise.

Ejoy.
