Today's episode is with Skill Acquisition Coach Tyler Yearby.  Tyler is the co-founder of Emergence: A Movement Skill Education Company.  

Tyler has worked with athletes at all levels and most recently just received his PhD in Sport & Exercise. In this episode, we go through what a Skill Acquisition coach is. What is Ecological Dynamics, and how is it different from the standard "coach lead" approach?   What an "alive" movement practice may look like, and where coaches interested in applying these concepts can start.  

Tyler has also published articles and research, which I highly recommend you check out!
