For anyone wanting to follow up on the Podcast themes... I've updated my Singleblade site with links to all my "Enriching Lives" materials & with this all-new "Living With Uncertainty" presentation - covering much of the same ground with better pictures 🤠

So what DOES ensure that once we’re active in the outdoors, we stay active for life - in ways we like - and seeing realistic ways to do new things which really, appeal to us?

My pitch? Helping our organisation be better connected to life on and around the water
- To ALL our people
- To ALL who shape what we care about
- To whatever EACH member finds meaningful
That's c/o our new Assembly, Strategy and focus on #development

Driving meaningful change across landscapes of adventure sport and physical activity hasn't been easy from the outside OR from the inside - but we've been making progress - and members of @PaddleUK can now vote to keep #development centre stage over the next four years 👊
@mbateman Surely our starting point should be what young people might find engaging as they navigate life among their peers / those of other generations. Learn why we laugh at "what did the Romans ever do for us?”… and the background to glorious clips like this 👇https://t.co/9ZroZZZIJ6
@DCGreyMattersUK See assorted @MadhurMangalam publications for practical alternatives, and this Pre-print argument for a fundamental shift away from optimality as a framing - perhaps with illustrative models of what can fail rather than templates for development 👇

Even mainstream soccer now has coaches working on motivational environments, practice structures & competition formats to encourage perceptual attunement to how interactions shape the affordances of others 😎
PS. patterns need to be emergent properties rather than imposed models!
This 👇 is a glorious example of how we unwittingly build barriers to skill development - including in the case study, where young players are being inducted into acting as human algorithms rather than being helped to perceive shared affordances to disrupt opposition play 🫣
...But now players will be solving with knowledge... and basing their answers on knowledge as opposed to guessing... and they will be applying a shared understanding instead of each player trying to solve in a different way. End.
@Doug_Lemov This 👆 is a glorious example of how we unwittingly build barriers to skill development - including in the case study, where young players are being inducted into acting as human algorithms rather than being helped to perceive shared affordances to disrupt opposition play 🫣
@PaulGlazier@Marianne_D1@stu_arm@intrinzen@MadhurMangalam I'm sold on the idea that in some (perhaps many) contexts, for a given athlete at a given moment, we might determine a *theoretically* optimal movement solution… but skilled adaptation surely remains key once fatigue, etc. make variability a lived reality in a specific context…
@MorrisCraig_@CanoeingIreland Yikes, that is low - whereas we already have too much flow for the Open Canoe Festival, and anticipate LOTS more - so fingers crossed it lands on you rather than on us 🤞
Cultures truly matter. You do not have to dictate what narrative individuals should adopt but rather influence their existing narratives to foster a more sustainable perspective. This video demonstrates how a company can use our software SenseMaker® for cultural mapping within its organisation.
This video clip was recorded at a conference organised by the Welsh Government in 2016. The software has since undergone significant updates and is capable of supporting government projects, organisational #culturalmapping, #employeeengagement, knowledge management, and storytelling initiatives that extend beyond general #surveys.
If you’re interested in experiencing a demo and exploring the software's capabilities, please feel free to contact us here: https://t.co/vBinULfuMa
As someone who trained Charley during this time period (21/22) I think can provide some context.
She’s never really trained with goal of “golf performance” although her coach will say she swings it better when little stronger + more stable.
She has natural swing speed from when young and hitting driver as hard as she can and playing with guys etc We know now just how important training speed when young is. Charley was ahead of the curve here!
A lot of why she trains is because she enjoys it and likes the challenge + mental benefits it provides. Nothing wrong at all with that. Exercise benefits go far beyond the course!
In our sessions she was doing jumps, med ball work, squats, trap bar deadlifts etc Whilst many wouldn’t consider these “golf specific” that’s generally a terrible term. Lots of transfer over to golf performance in these moves.
“Golf fitness” training in terms of mimicking swing and doing circus tricks is a load of rubbish, spot on! Think transfer over to performance rather than mimicking motion.
Her training now is more Hyrox based. Whilst I wouldn’t class that as “most efficient” for a golfer it still has decent amount of mobility, strength, power and obviously plenty of conditioning all of which are very useful attributes for golfers.
@SingleBlade1@PaulGlazier@edbaggs@DioVicen There are different views here but I see affordances as the real possibilities for action supported by natural law. The lawful support for action is not limited to specific contexts like dynamic sport environments and can be studied even in quiet standing https://t.co/vFFaN8M8UC
@PaulGlazier@JonMackey14@kearney_phil Pretty much all EcoD talk of "decision making" strikes me as misguided. At any given scale, we mostly see what needs to happen long before reaching any meaningful moment of undecidability. A single affordance being attuned to shapes what's meaningful: what counts for performance.
@PaulGlazier I'd love to hear from @bigpicsoccer, @edbaggs or @DioVicen… as I get exasperated that so many within Eco-D focus on dynamic environments to the exclusion of constrained contexts such as shot-put, track athletics or sprint kayaking - but I'm really not seeing an issue here 🤔
Clare will be standing down as a Director at this year's AGM… so the organisation is seeking applications to stand as her successor - as one of three voices elected from the Paddle UK (England) membership 😎 Deadline Wednesday 15th January 👇
https://t.co/7ALUnErj1R
Heads-up: for as long as I've known her, @ClareDallaway has been a voice for enthusiasts within Paddle UK - within coaching and leadership networks, through the West Midlands regional network, and throughout two tough terms on the Board 🤩 - 1 of 2 🧵 + recruitment link below…
