55. Designing learning environments

January 23, 2024 • Sam Robertson & Harjiv Singh • Season 7 • Episode 55

How hard should training be? How much variety should athletes experience? How does one balance quantity vs quality of practice? Many of these types of questions which have fascinated coaches for years are presently being reinvigorated, fuelled by new data sources and a growing access to the expertise of applied practitioners from motor learning, psychology, biomechanics and data science.

On this episode host Sam Robertson is joined by Harjiv Singh from the Orlando Magic to discuss how these opportunities have led to a re-imagination of the coach’s role to that of a designer of learning environments.
