The Talent Equation Podcast

Stuart has great guests and does an amazing job of breaking down the ecological dynamics approach so that non academics, which most of us coaches are, in a way we can understand and even more importantly, utilize in our practice design. Coming from the ice hockey world, which can be very rooted in tradition, these podcasts help me support what I am doing, make it so I can explain to parents why I am doing it and help me be creative in creating environments for learning. As a coach developer for USA Hockey, these are the concepts we are presenting to our coaches and there isn’t a clinic that I present that I don’t pull ideas or phrases from these episodes to help our coaches understand and use these concepts. As Stuart has said “once you see it, you can’t unsee it”

If you are a coach who wants to get better, an athelete who wants to do the same or a parent who wants to help their child then this is the Podcast to listen too. So many amazing guests across different sports and different fields esp. psychology. "Ditch those drills!"

Great podcast of course but maybe let the listeners know you’re going to break for a sponsor instead of just cutting off mid sentence to run an ad?

Interview Ted Kroeten, was phenomonal! A real life case study into how children athletes acquire love of the game and skill - these ideas are worth 2nd/3rd thoughts and discussion for any sports organization.
