@JonMackey14 I think I need to go down a few rabbit holes.

@JonMackey14 Bed time reading. 📖

[Michael Black @OptimalFitLK]

@JonMackey14 I’m not saying people can’t get info without direct perception, they obviously can. I just wonder if it’s the same kind of info Gibson was on about, or if it ends up being more indirect and less tightly linked to action in the moment.

[Michael Black @OptimalFitLK]

@JonMackey14 I could be seeing it wrong from my view but I mostly see it about patterns & coordination changes over time. Maybe looking at timing, rhythm, stability, variability. Take “Gibson” out, you’re not directly linking those changes to the info athletes pick up from the environment.

Great opportunity…

Always one of the best days of the semester - great to have @DcuPerformance Prof Doc and MSc cohorts on campus - looking forward to hearing about their progress and research.

We need your help! Male and female athletes at all competitive levels to complete a short survey on body composition in sport. We want the athlete’s perspective so we can learn from their thoughts and experiences. Please complete the survey here - https://t.co/6nC5BFBK3k

[Michael Black @OptimalFitLK]

@PaulFisher17 Sadly,it’s not confined to early graduates. The industry (sports,elite,development etc) in general is littered with burnt out professionals,sacrificing their own health and relationships with little or no security & subpar remuneration

[Sian Allen @DrSianAllen]

For optimal athlete development, play the long game.

Involving kids in talent promotion programmes early leads to short-term performance success.

But success at senior level was associated with LATER entry into talent promotion programmes.
