About this listen

You’ve heard it a hundred times: “Play with better players, and you’ll improve.”
But what if that advice is only half true?

In this live session, I’ll break down:

  • Why constantly “playing up” can stall learning, not accelerate it

  • What ecological dynamics says about challenge, attunement, and information

  • How to design matchplay that’s representative and actually helps players grow

  • What parents and coaches often misunderstand about competition level

Whether you're a coach, parent, or player — this is a must-watch if you're serious about real development, not just chasing better opponents.
