Focus of Attention – part 4

 

In September 2023 over 70 coaches from grassroots participation to Olympic level met at the UK Snowsports Coaching Conference. The conference theme was “It ain’t what you do but the way that you do it” and blended learning and coaching theory with its practical application.

 

Recorded at the conference, this podcast builds on workshops by Marianne Davies of UK Coaching and Richard Barbour exploring ‘focus of attention’ from the perspectives of Information Processing and Ecological Dynamics theories.

After the workshops we ventured onto the indoor snow slope at Castleford to explore the role of tasks and feedback and how they can be used and augmented to optimise learning outcomes - we recorded some of the sessions and participant reactions for this podcast.

 

Along the way you’ll learn about task constraints, focus of attention and the Intention Attention feedback loop.
