EP79: What on earth is an affordance?!

In this episode, Alex Sarama and Adam discuss the concept of affordances in basketball by exploring how affordances, which are opportunities for action, can be applied within the basketball environment. They emphasize the importance of understanding that affordances are unique to each individual player and can be influenced by their physical features and skill level. They also discuss the role of coaches in designing practice environments that incorporate affordances and how to manipulate affordances to change the invitations an athlete receives from the environment.
