Episode notes
INSIGHT

Skill Is Contextual Adaptability

  • Skill is the ability to perform and adapt across different contexts and opponents.
  • Being skillful means you can apply actions in varying situations, not just repeat a single movement.
INSIGHT

Three Ways Skill Appears

  • Development, emergence and acquisition are distinct processes that produce skill.
  • Acquisition can be taught and lost, while development/emergence depend more on environment and time.
ADVICE

Guide Discovery, Don't Leave It To Chance

  • Use guided discovery rather than pure free play to shape the behaviours you want.
  • Give teams simple rules or roles so players explore solutions while the coach still directs outcomes.
