Dr. Luke Wilkins, Nottingham Trent University, Cognition Specialist

2022 is rolling with our January podcasts. My hope is that we give you some different things to think about this month. We jump right into vision, cognition and skill acquisition with Dr. Luke Wilkins. Dr. Wilkins is a senior lecturer in sport and exercise psychology at Nottingham Trent University in the UK. He attained his PhD in Vision Testing and Visual Training in Sport from the University of Birmingham in 2015 under the supervision of Dr. Rob Gray. Prior to working at NTU, Dr. Wilkins worked for the New York Yankees as both a vision, perception, and cognition coach as well as a skill acquisition specialist. Get ready to see what is on the horizon from a player development standpoint. We dive into research on the role vision plays in performance, virtual reality, stroboscopic glasses and a whole host of other resources to dive into. The ABCA Podcast is presented by Netting Pros.
