Chris sat down with Ben to discuss all things autoregulation and skill acquisition related. Ben talks about the differences between RIR and RPE, how/when to utilize both scales, RPE on a scale of 1-10 vs 1-100, internal training loads vs external training loads, and the misconceptions of “load management.” We then wrap up the chat with a discussion on skill acquisition from a variety of perspectives including sport coaching, rehab, and performance. Ben is a Strength Coach, Hockey Goalie Coach, Chiropractor, and current Master’s student researching workload on performance in hockey, long term development, and skill acquisition.
