I was fortunate enough to examine two PhD’s with Jim, where he was the external and me the internal. I learnt so much from him and found the whole process such a privilege. Kind, caring and critical are the three words that come to mind.

Open access paper with Prof Chris Cushion building upon other work in coach education and development that uses democratic forms of education to support sport coaches development. Challenging project but lots of learning for orgs wishing to utilise such approaches.

Prof Chris Cushion Prof Stephen Harvey Ed Cope Dan Abrahams Some summary points:

-direct player attention
-use your voice (short, simple, volume, tone) to emphasise intensity
-give certainty with great instruction (sure, there's a time to negotiate, ask questions, get player feedback etc)...build a sense of positive, proactive intent

A fantastic guideline for direct instruction is Rosenshine's Principles of Instruction...

I spoke with the great Prof Chris Cushion Prof Stephen Harvey and Ed Cope about direct instruction a few weeks ago on Dan Abrahams here: apple.co/3mdzjeT

Now, what, for me, is fantastic

So cool to see The Sport Psych Show (Dan Abrahams) the number one sport psychology podcast on Feedspot list here: blog.feedspot.com/sports_psychol…

Proud that it's been voted the number one sport psychology podcast on planet earth for 2023. Thanks to all those listening in

Following my previous tweet see 👇🏻

- a focus on what methods meet intentions not theory driven
- priority of coaching context and rational for methods used
- realisation that what we want/think we deliver (espouse) rarely plays out in practice (in use)

“There is a clear theoretical and empirical basis for direct instruction (Sweller, 2009) in cognitive load theory, which explains how human cognitive architecture works and why direct instruction is required, especially for novice learners” - from Cope & Cushion (2020)
