Last week I attended the #STTARSummit listening to some great minds discussing topics relevant to HP sport. In this week's blog I discuss my thoughts and reflections on the summit and how it relates to skill acquisition and high performance sport: learntowin.com.au/hbse-sttar-sum…

MEN’S #AusOpen FINAL After one week, the GIG Championship Predictor gave @DjokerNole a 41% & @RafaelNadal a 33% chance of winning the title. It's now 60-40 in Novak's favour. Statistically this means it’s a close call. Today we provide insights highlighting both players' skills.

In our PlayerDNA, we quantify player performance by assessing technical, tactical, physical & mental skills. What do you think will be the deciding skill in tonight’s match? #AusOpen #GameInsightGroup @AustralianOpen

We can’t wait to see @la_pouille back on court. He has played 4:51h more than @DjokerNole, but both players have done a similar amount of work: Djokovic - 14956kJ Pouille - 15230kJ How much will the players work in today's heat? 🔥🔥 #AusOpen #GameInsightGroup @AustralianOpen

.@RafaelNadal likes to attack with his forehand behind the serve, while @StefTsitsipas stands closer to the baseline as he looks to move forward. Check out the data behind our first men's singles semifinal: bit.ly/2TahfiC #AusOpen | #GameInsightGroup | #Infosys

This a very important point well made in this article. Representative design does not require perfectly replicating the training environment. In fact, in most cases you should not be. It is preserving the key elements (information, coupling, etc) in the competitive environment.
