Theoretical underpinnings of the Constraints Led Approach to Coaching

This podcast episode discusses the theoretical foundations of the Constraints Led Approach (CLA) to coaching, with a focus on behavioral and ecological dynamics. The CLA emphasizes the role of constraints, such as perceptual information and action dynamics, in shaping and self-organizing an athlete's movement solutions. The episode explores the Perception-Action Loop, which highlights the mutual interaction between perception and movement. It also delves into the coordination of neuromuscular skeletal components and the analysis of action-relevant perceptual information. Bill Warren's behavioral dynamics model and Keith David's ecological dynamics model are both discussed as approaches to understanding the self-organization and emergence of behavior.
