Moving Coaching Beyond the Average

Technical coaching models are all about coaching to the average. Average Sucks!

Thank you so much for your kind support. Every penny raised from this blog goes directly back into grassroots youth sport. In this, the very first newsletter exclusively for supporters, I thought it would be a good starting place to give you some background about how I began experimenting with ecological psychology and dynamical systems thinking about why it is so important to link theory with practice. There’s also featured practice notes from some recent discussions and practice with other coaches. Finally there is an introduction to a review of Alex Sarama’s new book in what will be a regular slot that will review recent publications to help keep us up to date with theory and practice. I hope you enjoy the article, notes and review. Feedback is a gift and always welcomed.
