Episode notes
Use Constraints to Shape Solutions
- Use constraints to discourage undesired movement solutions and encourage exploration of alternative, possibly better techniques.
- Allow success rates to guide whether variants are acceptable or need adjustment in practice.
Identify Key Movement Invariants
- Start identifying key movement invariants by asking why traditional fundamentals exist and what their purpose is.
- Look at successful performers and understand the physics and functionality behind their movements.
Guide, Don't Prescribe Technique
- Instead of prescribing techniques, add constraints to practice that encourage athletes to find better movement solutions themselves.
- Focus on guiding athletes to explore and feel overall movement rather than forcing specific actions.
