Why did I make the switch in my career from thinking about skill as an indirect, predictive process involving internal models to direct perception, ecological dynamics?  Why do I think the latter is a better approach to understanding and developing skill?

What is the difference between using online vs offline information to our control our actions on the one hand and the dichotomy between direct vs indirect perception, on the other? How have these been used incorrectly in many attempts to integrate skill acquisition approaches? An attempt at some clarification.

How can we apply an ecological approach to coaching volleyball? Are the ideas of “repetition without repetition” and motor synergies supported by research on this sport? What has research shown about the benefits of using the CLA and differential learning in volleyball?

Can athletes learn to use the auditory information available in a sports environment to improve their performance? Can we see all around us with sound?

For those that aren’t familiar with his story, Brian Bushway started to go blind when he was 14 and now has no response to light at all. But amazingly he can still see! Brian has learned to echolocate. That is, he uses the auditory information that naturally occurs in our environment, the sounds bouncing around off objects, to localize and identify objects and events. He uses this to mountain bike, ice skate and perform a host of other activities. Now, with the help of Tom he is trying to teach athletes to do this, both those that visually impaired like himself and normally sighted athletes.
