380 – Interview with Brian Bushway & Tom Izdebski from Acoustic Athletics, Learning to Use Auditory Information in Sports
14 december 2021 |
51 min
Can athletes learn to use the auditory information available in a sports environment to improve their performance? Can we see all around us with sound?
For those that aren’t familiar with his story, Brian Bushway started to go blind when he was 14 and now has no response to light at all. But amazingly he can still see! Brian has learned to echolocate. That is, he uses the auditory information that naturally occurs in our environment, the sounds bouncing around off objects, to localize and identify objects and events. He uses this to mountain bike, ice skate and perform a host of other activities. Now, with the help of Tom he is trying to teach athletes to do this, both those that visually impaired like himself and normally sighted athletes.

35A - Sport Science Shorts: Review of “The Arm”, Injury Prevention & Recovery
1 september 2016 |
11 min
One of the greatest challenges those of us working in sports currently face is how to keep athletes healthy and on the field. Should we take a conservative approach, giving them more rest days and not pushing them so hard in practice? Or should we believe what doesn’t kill them will only make the stronger? Is there a way we can use analytics, biomechanics or movement analyses to predict when an injury is likely to occur? As parents, should we steering or kids away from sports with a higher likelihood of injury? How should we best manage the physical and psychological challenges associated with injury recovery? A review of the book “The Arm: Inside the Billion Dollar Mystery of the Most Valuable Commodity in Sports” which explores these questions in the context of baseball pitching injuries.

22 mars 2016 |
10 min
News: What exactly does it mean to be in “the flow” as an athlete? Can we make it happen or do we just need to let it happen? Is it really true that skill acquisition is a single process that strives for low variability and is constrained by the speed-accuracy tradeoff?

Exploration of ways in which an athlete can develop and enhance their sports skills without actually performing them: by using imagery and observational learning. Does mentally rehearsing or imaging yourself performing an action really make you a better athlete? Can it sometimes be a bad thing to do? What is going on in our brain when we do it? How can we improve our imagery ability? Can watching someone else perform a skill make us a better athlete? Can imagery and observational learning be used together? Imagine the possibilities!

18 – Performance Feedback
5 januari 2016 |
28 min
With the ever increasing availability of tracking and monitoring technology it is becoming easier and easier for an athlete to get feedback about their results and performance. But is the too much of a good thing? How does feedback influence the acquisition and performance of sports skills? Which type of feedback should be used and how often? Is providing biofeedback (e.g., heart rate, brain activity) effective? Can sounds and vibrations be used to shape movements?

17 – Getting Deliberate About Practice & The 10K Hour Rule
22 december 2015 |
26 min
How much does an athlete need to practice to become truly elite? What should it involve? Should it be fun? Can everyone become a great athlete if they just practice enough? In this episode, I focus on the most well- known theory in this area called Deliberate Practice, popularized as the 10,000 hour rule.

16 – Implicit Learning & Learning By Analogy
8 december 2015 |
25 min
How can we learn to shoot a basketball by thinking about a cookie jar and learn to putt a golf ball by thinking about toothpaste?!! Can a novice athlete really become great without being given any verbal instructions about how to actually perform their skill? In the episode, I explore some approaches to learning and coaching sports skills that are radically different to the traditional methods most of us have experienced.

15C – Interview with Josh Miller. Have We Been Wrong About the Hot Hand Effect for 30 Years?
3 december 2015 |
43 min
A discussion with Josh Miller, Assistant Professor of Decision Sciences at Bocconni University, about his and Adam Sanjurjo’s recent work which has reversed the findings of 30 years of research on performance streaks in sports. Their work provides pretty convincing evidence that the hot hand is not a fallacy or illusion after all. I try (and fail) to explain the sampling bias they identified in my own words. In addition we discuss performance under pressure, how athletes know a teammate is hot or not, slumps and the future of research in this area.

14 –Technique Change
10 november 2015 |
29 min
Making adjustments to a heavily practiced, well established skill can be one of the most difficult tasks required of an experienced athlete. Although there can be several situations in sport for which this is required (e.g., rule or/and equipment changes, advancement to a higher level of play), there are a dearth of empirical studies that have examined the processes underlying successful technique change. In this episode, I explore what is involved in: opening an athlete’s performance black box to get the new technique in place and then hiding the key so that it is resistant to the effects of pressure.

13 –Dealing with Sports Injuries
27 oktober 2015 |

Recovering from an injury can be one of the most difficult challenges an athlete can face. In this episode I discuss two topics related to this issue. First, I look at the growing epidemic that is sport related concussions and consider issues related to detection, assessment, multiple concussion syndrome, and when an athlete can return to play. Second, I discuss the role of attention in recovery from knee and elbow injuries and how we might get an athlete to stop being overly focused on their injury.

11 –Performing & Choking Under Pressure
29 september 2015 |
23 min
We have all seen it. A great athlete has a chance to win a championship. All that is required for them to do something they have done hundreds of times before…sink a 3 foot putt, make a free throw, kick a 20 year field goal. And they miss! In this episode I explore the fascinating topic of choking under pressure. Why do some athletes excel in these situations while others fail? What causes choking and want can an athlete do to prevent it?

Join Me on My Head Training Journey
20 september 2015 |
min
Hi Everyone,
HeadTrainer is one the newest applications in the continually growing market of perceptual-cognitive training products for athletes. One of the most striking things about this app is the budget behind it – the production values are at the level of many video games and the company has a team of pretty high profile celebrity endorsers including racecar driver Dale Ernhardt Jr, baseball player Jose Bautista, surfer Alana Blanchard and golfer Rickie Folwer. The program (which costs $4.99/month for the full edition) includes exercises designed to improve decision making, processing speed, focus, visual-spatial awareness and memory. But does it work?!
Well, I have signed up! So, over the next few weeks I am going to look more closely at the science behind this product AND give regular updates on my progress through the training. I will also be giving an analysis of the contents of the training as an alleged expert in this area J Finally, I will be doing pre and post sports related skills tests to see if there is any transfer effect to my performance. So, I am basically doing a single subject, pre-post case study on myself. Not exactly rigorous scientifically but it should be fun and give me a chance to embarrass myself.
So keep watching this space for blog posts, videos and podcast segments as I attempt to train my head!
Cheers,
Rob
(And just so you know, I have no affiliation with this company).
10 - Skill Retention and Transferring to a New Sport
15 september 2015 |
25 min
How long do athletes retain the sports skills they learn: 5 years, 10 years, forever? If they do lose something, what is it? How easy is it to transfer from one sport to another? What factors determine whether or not transfer will be successful? This episode explores the topic of retention and transfer of sports skills.

Pro Move Mini Motion Tracking System Review
http://inertia-technology.com/promove-mini
Note: the images and data plots are meant to accompany the review in Episode 9, Time Code 18:21
Test 1: One sensor, linear motion
-plots are acceleration data for me attempting to do 3 slow movements followed by 3 fast movements constrained to one axis. (Note, I did not use any kind of frame to constrain movements so there will be some cross talk Data are filtered with a second-order Butterworth frequency of 20 Hz.
Test 2: One sensor, rotation
-same as Test #1 except rotating about 1 axis
Test 3: Two sensors
-Holding one sensor in each hand. In-phase motion in first half, anti-phase in second half
9 - Off the Learning Curve - Measuring Skill Acquisition
1 september 2015 |
32 min
How do we know how well a new training program or piece of sports equipment is working? Is looking at how performance changes in practice (by plotting a "learning curve") really the best way to assess skill acquisition. No, no it isn’t. In this episode I make the case for going off the learning curve in favor of other ways of measuring skill learning in sport.

8- How Do We Become an Expert? Intro to Skill Acquisition
18 augusti 2015 |
21 min
Legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden once said: “The importance of repetition until automaticity cannot be overstated”. Reaching a stage where some skills can be performed “automatically” is thought to be one of the main goals of sports training and one of the defining characteristics of being an expert. But what exactly does it mean for a sports skill to be “automatic” and how exactly is this desired state achieved through training? In this episode, I introduce the topic of skill acquisition be exploring traditional theories of how an athlete progresses from a novice to an expert.

7 – What Should an Athlete Pay Attention To?
4 augusti 2015 |
27 min
What should an athlete focus their attention on when performing their sport? Should you pay attention to how your body is moving, the crowd, your opponents, what you need to buy at the store after the game, or something else? Is it the same if you just learning the sport? In this episode I focus my attention of focusing attention.

6 – Embodied Perception in Sport
21 juli 2015 |
25 min
Why do great athletes claim that on some nights baseballs look as big as a grapefruit, basketball hoops are like oceans and things move in slow motion? Are they just blowing a lot of hot air or is this really the way they see the world? In this episode, I explore embodied perception in sport…the idea that the way we see the world changes as a function of our action capabilities (e.g., whether we are an expert or novice, whether we are fresh or fatigued, etc). I also consider how we might take advantage of these effects in sports training programs.

4 – Anticipation in Sports
23 juni 2015 |
22 min
How do great athletes seem to know what is going to happen next? What information to they use to predict the next serve will be cross court instead of down the line, how does a baseball batter know the next pitch will be a fastball, and how does an NFL quarterback know the defense will blitz? Can these abilities be improved through training? In this episode I explore the topic of anticipation in sports.

3 – Eye Movements in Sports
9 juni 2015 |
23 min
What should an athlete look at when performing their sport? For example, should a soccer goalkeeper keep their eye on the shooter’s leg when trying to stop a penalty kick or on their upper body? Should a golfer look at the ball or the hole when putting? Do expert athletes look at different things than novices? Is it really possible to always keep your eye on the ball? In this episode, I examine the role of eye movements in sports.

Since the early 1980's, there have been several vision training programs developed which propose to improve the vision of athletes resulting in an associated improvement in their sports performance.
