@JonnyPotter87 It’s availability bias. The focus is on positives of players at other clubs that aren’t seen regularly/daily, versus the mistakes of your own players that are seen regularly/daily! Continuity & let the management team get the best out of the players in the building (esp Junho!!)
In episode 261 of The Sport Psych Show I welcomed back Prof Mark Williams and Prof Nicola Hodges to the show. In this episode we discuss a paper Mark and Nikki published which examines a skill acquisition framework for excellence.

Single Bouts of HIIT Exercise Boost Brain Power
New research reveals that even a single session of intense exercise, like HIIT or cycling, can enhance brain function in young adults.
The study found cognitive benefits in areas like memory, attention, and executive function, with high-intensity workouts showing the strongest effects.
These effects were especially pronounced when the exercises were shorter than 30 minutes and tested immediately after completion.
While the cognitive improvements were modest, they suggest that brief, vigorous physical activity may yield immediate mental benefits.
This finding broadens our understanding of exercise's impact on cognition beyond long-term training routines.
Cells Beyond the Brain Show Surprising Memory Abilities
A new study reveals that cells outside the brain, such as kidney and nerve cells, can also store memory by responding to repeated stimuli similarly to brain cells.
Researchers found that non-brain cells can activate a “memory gene” when exposed to spaced chemical signals, a process mirroring how neurons learn better with spaced intervals rather than cramming.
This discovery suggests that memory formation might be a fundamental property of all cells, not just those in the brain.
By engineering these cells to emit a glow when they activated the memory gene, the scientists tracked how the cells learned to recognize repeated signals.
The findings not only provide a novel perspective on memory but also hint at potential health applications for conditions related to memory and learning.
Reprogrammed Brain Cells Could Restore Damaged Circuits
Researchers have successfully reprogrammed brain support cells called astroglia into neuron-like cells that mimic specific interneurons vital for brain functions.
This study, focusing on regenerative medicine, demonstrated that modifying a protein called Ascl1 enhances the conversion of astroglia into functioning neurons, which could potentially restore disrupted brain circuits in conditions like epilepsy.
The newly created neurons display high-frequency firing, a critical property of certain interneurons responsible for brain circuit regulation.
Unlike natural neurons, these engineered cells retain unique features but still exhibit specific neuron behaviors.
This breakthrough suggests that astroglia could be used to repair brain circuitry and improve treatments for neurological disorders.
Future studies will explore further optimization of these induced neurons for clinical application.
@PeteSmith1983 Happy to give SJW a chance, even if he doesn’t get it, a role as assistant-TD (or similar title) under an experienced TD would be good! Might suit MON as part-time with NI! Likewise for Huth! Think Dane Murphy & Julian ward (as local chance to build something!) out of work too!
@JonnyPotter87 Totally agree! Wasn’t SJW’s biggest fan as a player but could never fault his effort, desire & relationship with the fans/club! He’s done the job (at a lower level), coached at the club and for Ireland; he’s got the understanding and humility most fans wanted that Martin lacked!
New research reveals that individuals with autism are less influenced by the 'bystander effect' in workplaces, emphasizing the strengths they bring to the table. Time to shift our perspectives.

Superb from #TeamEurope this weekend in #RyderCup! Inspired to get out on a course here’s some common movement issues for amateur golfers! Check out elite movement in comments too!

An important story 🧠
CPR was performed on me during a seizure while solo travelling in Peru in June. I was restrained. I fractured my spine, ribs and required pretty extensive shoulder surgery
Here's why correct seizure #FirstAid is so important
