Learning to Optimize Movement

Harnessing the Power of the Athlete-Environment Relationship

De: Rob Gray

Narrado por: Rob Gray

How do we go from proficiency to mastery in sports? From average to elite. From having a “lot of moving parts” to being economical and efficient in our movements. From feeling rushed and pressured to slowing time down and acting like you knew what was going to happen all along. From deciding to take the best option available to moving to shape and change the options afforded to us. From building easily disrupted and broken skills to adaptable and even anti-fragile ones, getting stronger through being challenged.

Explore the evidence-based principles for learning and coaching optimal movement in the follow-up to the best-selling book on skill acquisition, How We Learn to Move: A Revolution in the Way We Coach & Practice Sports Skills.

Revolutionary material

Absolutely love this books evidence-led approach to improving the way we look at sports training. Would recommend to anyone looking to become a better coach/trainer!

Some interesting ideas, but reader works for them

There are some nuggets of wisdom in the book, but they're scattered about in jargon-filled descriptions of theory and experiments, which is tedious to wade through. I'm not sure what the target market is for the book, but if it's for coaches, I'm certain there must be a much smaller, more plainly written book buried somewhere inside this one.
