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.

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.

Developing Pitchers from an Ecological Perspective with Tanner Pruett

In this episode, we have on Tanner Pruett discusses his coaching journey and how it has evolved over time. Tanner played baseball at Modesto Junior College in CA and Crown College in MN. He began his coaching career at Starters Sports Training and went on to coach at St Cloud State University, Tread Athletics and is currently a pitching instructor at Mash Baseball and a volunteer pitching coach at North Central University. In this episode we discuss the importance of allowing athletes to explore and find their own movement solutions, rather than focusing on perfect mechanics. Tanner also discusses how his coaching approach aligns with ecological dynamics and the Constraint Led Approach. He highlights the value of incorporating real game-like situations, such as facing live batters, into training sessions. We discuss how coaches can use biomechanics to guide an athletes search process to find more functional movement solutions. The conversation also explores the balance between exploration and consistency in training, as well as the role of constraints in pitching practice.

Finding the Edge
Integrating Exploration Back Into On-Field Performance

In this episode, we discuss the importance of being able to integrate our exploration back into getting better on the field. One of the major mistakes that many people make who go all in on exploring to become more athletic often coaches end up programming activities to explore just for the sake of exploration. We don't want them to get good at doing random novel tasks but figure out how to perform more consistently and effectively come game time. Therefore it's imperative that coaches discover how to harness the power of exploration to facilitate skill development. At the end of the day, our goal is to help them to find a more functional fit, meaning more consistent and effective ways of solving any emerging problem they may face come game time. Our goal is to keep the main thing the main thing. Our conversation was facilitated by another Vervaeke video this time we use a small clip from Lex Fridman's Podcast (EP 317). Also, Baker who let the Dogs Out on this episode?
