I am excited to be joined by Dr Andrew Abraham in this episode. Andrew is Head of Department for Sport Coaching at Leeds Beckett University. He is a coach developer with an interest in how coaches do their job in relation to effectiveness, judgement, decision-making and talent development.

Andrew's research and consultancy work is recognised across the world. The impact of this work is seen within the International Sport Coaching Degree Standards, co-produced with the International Council for Coaching Excellence, academics from universities across continents and practitioners from International Coaching Federations.

We speak about the biopsychosocial model; reductionism; the psychology of learning; how people learn; cognitive learning theory, social learning theory; constructivist learning theory; motor learning theory and dynamical systems.
