Episode notes
Son's Journey Sparks Innovation
- Randy Sullivan started investigating how to help his son throw harder because the baseball world said velocity couldn't be learned.
- He discovered ecological dynamics and applied it to baseball, improving players' performance significantly.
Movement Through Environment Interaction
- Ecological dynamics explains movement as direct response to environmental information, with no need for interpretation.
- The body is a complex system where changing one part unpredictably affects others.
Coach With Constraints and Failure
- Use the constraints-led approach to set up environments that help athletes explore movement solutions without direct instructions.
- Encourage failure with a 60-70% success rate in training to promote implicit learning through errors.
