[Rikard Aspegren @RikardAspegren]

Athlete development is shaped by the development environment.
Many factors influence the player.
When the environment is safe, supportive and aligned, better conditions are created for long-term development, performance and well-being.

[Brian McCormick @brianmccormick]

Poor-shooting teams may be due to talent identification/evaluation, lack of skill development, poor practice design, inability to create good shots for shooters, coach behaviors or something else. Key is to identify problem correctly rather than automatically blame players' reps.

"my energy was in the wrong place...

...it's about the relationships & the development

...I started thinking a lot about what good guys they are & an enjoyment of spending time with them instead of getting buried on the computer

...more coffees, more talks"

Ecological Dynamics/CLA 201:
Affordances

So-called "conceptual offenses" and Ecological Dynamics are often viewed as a coherent pairing

However, perceiving an affordance is NOT a conceptual process!🤯

Can this be reconciled??? 🤔😉

"it's not great - I just have to stay in the corner"

Recent comment from a promising youth player (15 yrs old) re: his experience with rep team

4/5-out offenses running middle on-balls, whilst the 3 other players get out the way, are sub-optimal for player development

Ecological Dynamics/CLA 201:
Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS)

player, team, club, league and wider society are conceptualised as CAS.

This has implications - more farmer, less engineer
