Ep. 14 - The Movement Revolution w/ Rob Gray
For today's episode, I'm joined by Dr. Rob Gray (@ShakeyWaits)!!
Rob is an associate professor of human systems engineering at Arizona state University and is the host of the wild popular podcast The Perception and Action Podcast.
His podcast which he has hosted since 2015 and includes over 380 episodes focuses on taking the latest and greatest research in the field of movement sciences and distilling those high level topics down into digestible concepts so that coaches and practitioners can apply in their setting .
Rob is also an accomplished researcher in the field of movement sciences and Recently released a book called How We Learned to Move: A Revolution in the Way We coach & Practice Sports Skills, which I can attest to Is an excellent read and is actually sitting in my book shelf right now!
We discuss some of the concepts of the book but we also discuss:
How human’s inherently crave variability
How practice should not always be perfect and repeatable and that learning is messy
How variability can help w/ injury prevention
And some practical advice for coaches in setting up these principles in their own practice
For me this was an episode I was looking forward to a ton!…A wise mentor once told me to “Stand on the shoulders of Giants” and for me Rob is one of those giants.
