Reconceptualizing Talent Development & Challenging Coaching Traditions and w/ Stuart Armstrong
The Adaptable Athlete Podcast
Early Constraints-Led Practice
- Stuart Armstrong describes how he unknowingly used a constraints-led approach in his childhood cricket practice.
- To keep his younger brother engaged in bowling to him, he'd make it more challenging by adding pound coins on the wickets, reducing the distance.
- He used constraints by shrinking the bat size (equipment), using his brother (people), and adjusting the targets (environment).
- This fostered his own skill development despite not having formal knowledge of constraints or skill acquisition.
