Ben Strafford is studying for a PhD at Sheffield Hallam University under the guidance of the legendary Keith Davids. He is exploring how Parkour could be a 'donor sport' to a load of other sports in that it provides a range of dynamic action possibilities that are not based on 'movement norms' like gymnastics or athletics but are more about a human being interacting with an environment to develop novel movement solutions.

This episode is a slightly different show in that I am joined by Marianne Davies (@Dynamicscoachi1) and James Vaughan (@jimivaughan) to discuss Ben's recent article about his research and pose some questions.

Needless to say we veer off the track and explore some very interesting aspects!!
