This episode is a special repost of my conversation with Stu McMillan on the ALTIS Podcast, originally recorded as a lead-up to the ALTIS Speed Summit where I will be presenting.  

If you’re attending the Summit this weekend, this will give you a preview of what I’ll be covering in my talk on Saturday, June 7th. The session will be titled "This is Not a Drill: Developing Speed Through Problem Solving." 

We cover a wide range of topics—everything from designing adaptable athletes to unlearning rigid drill-based models. Whether you're new to ecological dynamics or deep into it, this conversation bridges theory and real-world coaching.

The ALTIS Speed Summit kicks off on Friday, June 6th, and I’ll be delivering both a presentation and a practical session on Saturday, June 7th.

Key Topics Discussed:

✅ Why repeatable outcomes matter more than repeatable movements

 ✅ How to build learning environments that guide problem solving

 ✅ What coaches need to unlearn to truly develop adaptable athletes

 ✅ The role of perception, variability, and context in speed training

 ✅ Transitioning from traditional  models to ecological dynamics
