As complicated as it looks…I think the below diagram is crucial for sports coaches to make sense of in their session design and coach behaviours (specifically, explicit instruction)
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
It start with attention…attention is the entry point for player learning. Captivate their attention, direct their attention, hold their attention…
Make your activities stretched…but…not so stretched that it overloads your players’ working memories…and make your instructions simple, short, & snappy to prevent overload
Check for understanding by asking players questions about what they’ve just experienced in an activity and test for understanding by setting a task or challenge in an activity relevant to the just-learned information…this improves retention in long-term memory
Prevent forgetting and consolidate memories in long-term memory by continuing to ask players to retrieve the just-learned information (during water breaks, in huddles between activities, at the end of the session)
The above process is my extended take on a model called Cognitive Load Theory which is the basic cognitive architecture of how human’s learn…(note: this is my take alone)

Dive into the second part of the series on cognitive load theory where Dr. Stephen Harvey and Dr. Ed Cope explore how to optimize intrinsic load for effective learning.
Learn why spacing out learning sessions and employing retrieval strategies can lead to long-term retention and skill development.

📢PT Research Fellow opportunity @NTUSportScience! Myself @petepjh @CoachC1 are researching coach development in tennis & are looking for support in qualitative data collection (observations & interviews). 0.2 FTE until 31st July. CLOSES 16th April 🎾⤵️vacancies.ntu.ac.uk/Job/JobD…
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 @CoachC1 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.
