episode each week. All episodes will be available on the

Brian Gillam, HEO Coach Development Coordinator, will be interviewing five experts from the field of skill acquisition. Our guests bring a wide range of
perspectives on the topcic, from the academic and research perspective to the practical/implementation perspective.
Episodes will dive into such concepts as Ecological Dynamics, Constraints Led Approach, Non-Linear vs Linear Development, Perception-Action Coupling and
Learning Theories and how these impact on athletes becoming skillful and how we as coaches design and conduct practice sessions.
