"It's not about having 10 different shots...it's about coming up with the 11th one you never practiced before": a conversation with Rob Gray

1 hour 24 minutes

Rob Gray is a regular guest on The Talent Equation and should be well known to regular listeners. Rob is an associate professor in human systems engineering in the Polytechnic School at Arizona State University as well as the host of the brilliant 'Perception and Action Podcast' (I like to think of it as the 'brainy cousin' of this show!).

In this conversation Rob drops by to talk to me about the content of his new book 'How we learn to move: a revolution in the way we coach and practice sports skills'.

We cover a lot including:

Why Rob thinks that dribbling round cones has no function
How he 'self organised towards self organisation'
Why the idea of 'one repeatable perfect technique' is a myth

Hope you enjoy
