On this week's episode, Coach Jav is joined again by Yuji Suzuki! Yuji joined us during our last episode and in this one, they dive into the topic of deceleration training!
The skill of deceleration is an important one for athletes, but it is traditionally trained in a very decontextualized way. Which is devoid of many of the elements that help skills transfer to the game.
This episode dives into how coaches can train deceleration, in a more contextual way, which can lead to greater transfer to sport.

My Guest today is Yuji Suzuki!
Yuji works as a chiropractor and a remote coach to help people of all backgrounds overcome obstacles related to their health and fitness.
Over the years, his education has shifted his views on how he can be most helpful to someone dealing with pain and injuries, particularly being informed by the updated models of pain and the ecological dynamics framework for approaching human movement. Yuji was a guest on this show in episode 69, which you can listen to here.
This time Yuji and I discuss the blog post he wrote for Emergence titled "The Ecological Dynamics of Musculoskeletal Rehab"
In this episode we unpack and expand on some of the concepts that Yuji touches in in his blog post!

Hey everyone, welcome to today's show!
On this episode, we are going to be doing a deep dive on practice design! This is a topic many of you are very interested in and passionate about so I figured we would shine a light on it.
To do this, I've compiled some clips from some of my amazing guests that will give you their insights on practice design. In addition to that, I will be giving my input on each clip to hopefully guide you towards your own takeaways.
I hope you enjoy the show!

My guest for today’s episode is Dr. Martina Navarro. Martina is a native of Brazil and a senior lecture at the university of Portsmouth in the UK. She received her undergrad from the university of São Paulo in Brazil and her PhD from São Paulo and the university of Amsterdam in Netherlands.
Her PhD focused on effects of strategies and high levels of stress and anxiety and human cognition and motor control
She has also done post doctorate work in , Switzerland was awarded the excellence, doctoral research fellowship by the Swiss government and subsequently joined the Institute of sports science at the university of Bern
She is also the UK head of the athletic skills model a framework that offers an alternative perspective to talent development theories in the form of holistic broad-based movement education. More on this later.
Martina was also a high-level Taekwondo practitioner and competed at the Olympic level. Both her and I share a background in Taekwondo admittedly she competed at a much higher level than I did.
In this conversation, we do touch on her background and Taekwondo, but we also go into what the athletic skills model is, and how coaches can apply some of their frameworks to training and practice,
Athletes are often told to spend more and more hours training in their sport, but the athletic skills model provides a different way of looking at long-term athletic development. Emphasizing a variety of movements and movement experiences. We get into all this and so much more.

Hey, what’s up everybody welcome to adaptable podcast powered by emergence. I’m your host Coach Jav and thank you so much for joining me today.
My guess today is Ben Franks Ben Franks is a lecturer in applied coaching science at Oxford Brookes University in the UK. Primarily his work is focused on the visual control of movement in sport during interceptive actions. Ben has also coached in numerous settings in soccer from amateur to professional levels
Speaking of his work, Ben has appeared on this podcast two times previously and on Episode 32 where we discussed his research paper on visual gaze in goal keepers. Overall, Ben is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to soccer related or in regards to skill acquisition.
In this episode, we discuss Ben’s recent collaboration with us over emergence with the launch of his new course called the ecological dynamics of soccer. This course helps coaches link the theory to direct application of practice design and a modern approach to skill acquisition.
Having gone through much of the course myself, I can tell you that it is excellent, and I believe there is value for coaches, even if you do not work directly with soccer players.
In addition to that, Ben and I have a discussion on practice design, including how coaches can purposely manipulate constraints to influence athlete behavior
Ben’s course is now available for purchase. I will link to all of that in the show notes and I highly encourage you to check it out. Now on my conversation with Ben Franks .

My guest today is Jason Watson . Who is Jason? Jason is the head women’s volleyball coach at the university Arkansas women’s volleyball. Prior to that he had successful head coaching stance at my alma mater Arizona State and BYU.
What’s unique about Jason is that he is a program builder. He took over a program in Arkansas. That is a major conference in the SEC and had not had a lot of historical success and since he took over the program in 2016 he has since taken them to new Heights, including making the NCAA tournament 8 times.
In his previous stops at ASU and BYU, he also took programs not known for their success and helped elevate them. Like I said Jason has a knack for building programs.
He does this not subscribing to traditional practice method where athletes do isolated drills, and then hope that they can put it together a scrimmage or live action, he instead helps put his athletes in game like situations where they could adapt their skills and become better volleyball players. You can attribute a lot of his success to his practice structure.
I really enjoyed this conversation with Jason, we talk about his coaching journey and practice design from when he started, to what it is today!
Before I let you get to the episode, I wanted to let you know that we have a brand new course called the Ecological Dynamics of Soccer, which is currently on sale and available for purchase. It’s our good friend and friend of the podcast Ben Franks. B en is a wicked smart dude and always delivers so be sure to check that out. I’ll put the in the show notes.
