It was great coordinating two different biomechanics data collections with #TeamFelix yesterday. Practical on court movement and lab based 3D mocap on serving.
Special thanks to the team at LTU with a smooth in/out time!

Deliberate Practice ≠ Repetitive Practice

A misconception about deliberate practice is that it has to be repetitive

A hallmark of DP is engagement. If they’re doing constant repetitions, they're not engaged

Variety helps athletes stay in engaged

@Logemas @Vicon Been a huge time saver working on forward labelling on tricky data sets!

[Shane Liyanage @LiyanageShane]

When I started DDSA, I didn't get a lot of support in my own country, cash flow was tough, few teams wanted to sign up for a longer term.

#TeamSabalenka and #TeamJabeur are the the two teams that committed to me that helped me have the confidence to grow DDSA.

Just saw the speaker schedule for a popular S&C conference in the new year & couldn't help but SMH at the fact that they have 3 full days of presenters & not a single person discussing skill acquisition ideas.

Sport preparation is more than teaching OLY lifts & squatting.

📢📢 COACHES AND TRAINERS

How often do you use some sort of physical constraining towards technique development? Do you know the implications by doing so?

This review will provide you considerations, and the (not so) available research on these tools!
