@DavidDidau Hi David - it would be great to connect, as there might be an interesting opportunity coming up in Cambodia related to leadership and development in the sports leadership space.

If there’s anyone from or living in Cambodia on here it would be great to get in touch. Am moving to Phnom Penh in September. Obviously a huge change. If you know of any schools is the region that would be interested in my inimitable brand of consultancy, I’d love to get in touch.

New research in @JSportsSci. A pleasure to work with @rob_mason12 @EdCope1 @CoachPartington @LisRyan_Nutri @EvanGannon_ on this. Thanks to @ATU_GalwayCity @ATU_ResearchIE @lborouniversity for the support as always. A thread summarising the paper 👇 tandfonline.com/eprint/SRJ5Z73…

@DrORHooper @LboroSSEHS @lborouniversity Well done, Oli. Great news

Delighted to share that I've been promoted to Senior Lecturer in PE and Youth Sport @LboroSSEHS! 🥳 Academia can be a tough gig and I couldn't have done it without all the brilliant colleagues near and far (you know who you are) Excited to continue the journey @lborouniversity

RT @DanAbrahams77: Coaches… So you want to be a world class coach? If so, you would be well-served to become an incredible teacher and wel…

@Paulmcg8 @Duarterbparaujo Paul, these ideas have been suggested for some time in the physical education literature but are referred to as relational skills (i.e., throwing and catching, or passing and stopping)

@DazMossy Well done mate. Great effort.

A collection of articles recently written with @drstephenharvey for @ussoccer discussing how learning happens through the principles of cognitive load theory learning.ussoccer.com/articles/coach… learning.ussoccer.com/articles/coach… learning.ussoccer.com/articles/coach… learning.ussoccer.com/articles/coach…

@corbett_ross @ATU_GalwayCity @CoachPartington @LisRyan_Nutri Looking forward to hearing how it went @corbett_ross

Enjoyable experience presenting some of our research on academy hurling coaches use of feedback at #AIPG24 today @ATU_GalwayCity. @EdCope1 @CoachPartington @LisRyan_Nutri

As complicated as it looks…I think the below diagram is crucial for sports coaches to make sense of in their session design and coach behaviours (specifically, explicit instruction) 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 It start with attention…attention is the entry point for player learning. Captivate their attention, direct their attention, hold their attention… Make your activities stretched…but…not so stretched that it overloads your players’ working memories…and make your instructions simple, short, & snappy to prevent overload Check for understanding by asking players questions about what they’ve just experienced in an activity and test for understanding by setting a task or challenge in an activity relevant to the just-learned information…this improves retention in long-term memory Prevent forgetting and consolidate memories in long-term memory by continuing to ask players to retrieve the just-learned information (during water breaks, in huddles between activities, at the end of the session) The above process is my extended take on a model called Cognitive Load Theory which is the basic cognitive architecture of how human’s learn…(note: this is my take alone) For more information see: 1. Works by John Sweller 2. Recent article with U.S. Soccer from @drstephenharvey and @EdCope1 here: learning.ussoccer.com/articles/coach… 3. The Sport Psych Show podcast episode with @Jattaylor and @Rdtaylor_16 here: thesportpsychshow.libsyn.com/237-dr-robin-t…

Great to make continued contributions to U.S. Soccer Coaching Education with @EdCope1. Thanks to everyone involved for the opportunity.

Dive into the second part of the series on cognitive load theory where Dr. Stephen Harvey and Dr. Ed Cope explore how to optimize intrinsic load for effective learning. Learn why spacing out learning sessions and employing retrieval strategies can lead to long-term retention and skill development. Link: learning.ussoccer.com/articles/coach…

I was fortunate enough to examine two PhD’s with Jim, where he was the external and me the internal. I learnt so much from him and found the whole process such a privilege. Kind, caring and critical are the three words that come to mind.
