Dr Richard Bailey is one of the most widely respected researchers and academics in the world of sport. He currently works at the global policy making body the International Council for Sports Science and Physical Education (ICSSPE) where he gives talks all around the world on matters related to the development of sport and physical activity.

In this episode Richard pulls no punches in exposing the world of coaching for adhering to practices and educational models that have no evidence base or have proven to be false.
We talk about...
- Why we have 'the worst system in the world - barring all the others'
- His latest research which shows that 60% of coaches have been taught that there are 'learning styles' (Bull***t!)
- His challenge for the coaching industry to professionalise
- His views on drills within coaching and why they have no place in a learning enironment.
