Episode notes

Babminton players with tennis backgrounds start by hitting forehand drives, but freeze up when told to take it above their head. Despite wanting a beautiful clear or drop shot, their technique is to freeze and tap. As a beginner, the only way to win is to keep getting the shuttlecock back and hope the opponent misses. Skill comes with time.

Ian Renshaw is back and he has a new book out that he wrote with Danny Newcombe, Keith Davids and Will Roberts. The book (link below) is designed to introduce coaches to the concepts, principles and language of the Constraints Led Approach and offers practical examples of how the approach can be used to support athlete development.

In this conversation we delve into some of these principles including:

- The difference between representative task design and variability
- The importance of information in the environment and the folly of removing this information
- How to design practices to feel like the real thing
- An exploration of 'affordance led coaching'
