    Moving Beyond The Process Vs Results Dichotomy: A Principled Based Approach

    In this episode of Finding the Edge podcast, we delve into the process-oriented vs results-oriented dichotomy. We discuss the importance of a principled-based approach, developing adaptable athletes, pitch calling strategies, and creating effective practice environments. Emphasizing the need for athletes to balance conviction with adaptability, we explore how these elements come together for successful performance.

    How Representative is Representative Enough? Transfer of Training and the Ecological Approach

    In this episode we discussion the core principles of transfer of training for skill development. How do we develop skill and have the things we do in practice transfer to the game? We delve into the importance of understanding and applying ecological dynamics concepts such as the constraint-led approach and representative learning design to develop skills that transfer to the game.  Intro music by: Muellzy⁠⁠@muellzymusic⁠⁠ Support Us & learn more about Ecological Dynamics (links below)⁠Donate to Finding the Edge:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/ftepod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Ecological Dynamics ResourcesResources from Emergence a movement skill education company dedicated to helping coaches learn how to apply an ecological approach to understanding and developing movement skill.Get 7% off most courses by using code: Edge7 Emergence Educational Products: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://emergentmvmt.com/shop-2/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Social Media Twitter: ⁠⁠@Emergentmvmt ⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠@Emergentmvmt ⁠⁠Patreon:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/Emergentmvmt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow Us!

    The Role of Intent in the Pitcher-Batter Duel

    In this episode we dive into the concept of skilled intentionality with regards to the pitcher-batter interaction. We explore how intention shapes a player's behavior and performance, the importance of perceiving relevant information within the game (becoming attuned) and being calibrated is the basis for successful performance outcomes.

    EcoD Basics: Seeing Beyond The Performer-Environment Asymmetry

    In this episode of the Finding the Edge Podcast, we explore the fundamentals of ecological dynamics and its application for baseball. We discuss the mutual relationship between athletes and their environment, the importance of variability and attunement to specifying information, and the idea of skilled intentionality. The conversation touches on player autonomy, collaborative coaching, and how ecological dynamics can lead to better transfer of training from practice to game scenarios.
