Most training sessions are designed to look good.
Very few are designed to help athletes learn.

In this episode, sports scientist Simon Heidenreich speaks with Job Fransen about practice design, skill acquisition, and why learning often looks messy before it becomes effective.

They discuss:
• why performance in training can be misleading
• the difference between confidence and competence
• productive struggle and the Zone of Genius
• how coaches can design practice for long-term learning

This conversation is for coaches and practitioners who care about transfer to competition — not just clean sessions.
