"It's only when I got to level 5 that I discovered skill acquisition" - A conversation
Calvin Betton has the life that would be the envy of many. He travels Europe coaching and helping young tennis players to strive to break into the professional ranks. It's a tough life but somebody's got to do it...right? Not necessarily...
In this episode we get an inside picture of the life of a tennis coach working at the cliff edge of the talent space...the key transition zone from promising junior to top level adult. In the episode we cover...
The big gap in coach education that meant that skill acquisition was only covered at level 5!
The questions he asked a tennis legend about the advice he was giving to aspiring players to use drills to become better tennis players
Why people don't understand what good coaching looks like
How he creates intensity using 'pressure training'
His innovative method of giving feedback called 'bandwidth feedback'
His approach to 'challenge point theory' called 'training on the edge'
There is a wealth of insight in here that we were able to benefit from because of a rainstorm in Greece...a brainstorm in the rainstorm (ahem)!!

Tried Drive Mad free during a short break and ended up playing way longer than expected. It’s one of those games that feels easy at first, but the timing and balance really matter.
