The academy product makes his first Premiership start as one of five changes from the win against Gloucester.
Mike Brown starts at fullback, with Tom Whiteley given the nod at scrum-half. Anthony Watson returns to the wing ๐ช
Enjoy reading commentary about more โgame basedโ approaches to coaching as โnewโ and โalternativeโ - Thorpe and Bunker published their TGfU model in 1982 ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ - something โnew to youโ doesnโt make it newโฆ
@Jattaylor Thought of your sentiment here, watching this (linked) today, JT. A couple of fascinating segments, illustrating theory in action @LFC

We hope these suggestions provide a framework of โthings to think aboutโ rather than โwhat specifically to thinkโ, for those looking at a curriculum based approach to sporting talent development.
Itโs been great hear all kinds of feedback to this over the last month. 1 consistent gripe of some friends has been the length of the article and unnecessarily complicated (in their view) language. To that end, see a thread summarising the key points through the paper.
Open access paper on the relevance of curriculum theory for talent development. Thanks to @murraypcraig and @DCGreyMattersUK for the limitless patience and support.

Using a cycle of Teach-Test-Tweak-Repeat, may be a useful cycle of evaluation for practitioners.
Caution is advised when tweaking as curricula, needs enactment time in order to properly assess the effectiveness of it.
Avoiding an overly-reactive approach would have merit.
