This week on Beyond the Club, hosts Sam Elliott and Ben Hook are joined by Dr Maarten Immink from Flinders University to explore modern approaches to learning and cognition in sport. From moving beyond long-held ideas like muscle memory and the '10,000-Hour Rule', to exploring training that builds adaptability, we unpack the science of how skills are developed, refined, and transferred into real performance. Whether you’re a coach, parent, or club leader, this episode will challenge old assumptions and give you practical insights into how athletes learn best.
