Muscle memory is a form of procedural memory where repeating a specific motor task consolidates it in the brain.

It's Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday and in 1980 he faced questions from an audience of young viewers about his life and television career. Lesley Judd hosted the show, and Attenborough talked about making a connection with gorillas, and his concerns for the environment.

1979. 46 years ago. Call me old fashioned but I agree with him. 100%. It’s a million times worse now. I play on a Monday night & there’s an U14 side training/being coached next to us. Press, phases, rotation, tempo, overloads. All manner of bollocks. Game’s dying up its own arse.
