The Perception & Action Podcast

Mark O’Sullivan, an expert in applying ecological dynamics to youth sports coaching and physical literacy, joins a roundtable discussion about the topic. The podcast explores the measurement of children's motor skills, the importance of setting scaled tasks in coaching, and the benefits of diverse activities. They also discuss the transfer of movement skills, the impact of parkour, gymnastics, and ballet on confidence, and risk management skills in children.

A discussion with Randy Sullivan from Florida Baseball Ranch and several professional baseball pitching coaches. Our topic was co-adaptation in baseball, looking at how a pitcher might exploit the perceptual-motor strategies that hitters are using against them.   More information: http://perceptionaction.com/ My Research Gate Page (pdfs of my articles) My ASU Web page Podcast Facebook page (videos, pics, etc)   Subscribe in iOS/Apple Subscribe in Anroid/Google   Support the podcast and receive bonus content   Credits: The Flamin' Groovies - Shake Some Action Mark Lanegan - Saint Louis Elegy via freemusicarchive.org and jamendo.com

How do good coaches pick up information while observing an athlete, that can be used to guide skill acquisition? How can coaches better educate their attention to information that will better support search and self- organization of movement?
