Send us a text

Jamie Taylor PhD is the former head of Academy at Leicester Tigers and now working with Grey Matters as a Senior Coach Developer and the English Institute of Sport as the coaching and curriculum lead. He is a coach, coach developer and researcher in coaching science with a particular focus on talent development.

In this podcast, we follow up with Jamie to take an even deeper dive into teaching, learning and decision making. 

We discuss:

• Is coaching teaching?
• Can classroom research transfer to sports coaching?
• Which pedagogical principles can help coaches plan and deliver sessions
• Why a coach needs to be much more than an environmental designer
• The role of cognition in learning 
• How coaches can use professional judgement and decision making to decide which principles and methods to use and when
• What factors does it depend on when we say "it depends"
