In this episode with discuss learning and performing in sport. For too long, learning and performing have been viewed as separate processes—train, then apply.
But is that truly how we skilfully engage in competitive situations?
In this episode we suggest learning and performing are a symbiotic process. If you’re not learning while performing or performing while learning, are you truly progressing?
We discuss this theme from a motor learning and skill adaptation perspective and explore how to create environments that balance exploration (learning) and execution (performing).
This approach can develop problem solvers who can adapt, attune, and thrive under real-world conditions.
Papers discuss in the episode.
