Episode notes
Baseball's Perpetual Motion
- Andy Bass shared that the baseball off-season feels short, like it started two days ago.
- Despite being the off-season, there are always calls, camps, and events, making it a perpetual motion machine.
Differential Learning Explained
- Differential learning in motor skills acquisition involves variations in movement patterns, not mere repetition.
- Like finding multiple number combinations that add up to 10, more movement solutions mean better adaptability.

- This allows for multiple movement solutions to achieve the same outcome (throwing a strike).
