In this episode, Henrik Herrebrøden joins host Davd Smith to discuss "How We Learn to Move" by Rob Gray, PhD.

Here's our top three takeaways...

1. Context Matters: Here we emphasized the importance of practicing skills in realistic, varied contexts rather than isolated, repetitive environments. Athletes learn best when training simulates real-world conditions and challenges.

2. Athlete-Centered Approach: Coaches should guide athletes to discover solutions themselves. Setting up constraints and environments that allow athletes to explore and learn, rather than dictating every move. This approach promotes creativity, autonomy, and deeper understanding.

3. Embrace Variability and Errors: Learning occurs through making mistakes and practicing skills with variation. Instead of seeking perfect technique or identical repetitions, athletes should practice with slight differences that help them adapt and develop more flexible, robust skills.
