Tech thrives on predictability, but sport performance is inherently unpredictable 🏃♂️
In such moments, the human ability to adapt quickly and make swift decisions is invaluable 💡

It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is. If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science.
This was a fun conversation with @coachgambetta and @hmmrmedia around attentional focus, false dichotomies, and skill acquisition

Happy to share some of my research at GAIN 2023. Even better was all the thought provoking conversation with some of the best people in coaching, athletic development, and rehab. #practicetotheory 🤝#theorytopractice
Awesome research by @kbecker99 that challenges the status quo by asking coaches AND researchers to rethink what we take “for granted” based on ‘science’. #GAIN2023

Good old Rocky Top!
Excited to come to Lauricella Center at Neyland for the Faculty Pub this month #UTFacultyFun @KRSSutk @kbecker99
Good study, but to me the most interesting part is that 58% of instructions and feedback didn’t fit into the traditional internal and external focus boxes. Seems like a missed opportunity not to dig into those statements and try to understand other strategies being used.
