33. Skill acquisition: sport's untapped performance frontier?

Skill is the defining feature of a successful athlete in many of the sports we play and love. Yet, it remains one of the most controversial areas of high performance methodology. How much practice is optimal? How variable do we need to make it? How hard should it be? And how do we know when what is learnt in practice has actually transferred to competition?

On this episode,  host Sam Robertson is joined by Professor Rob Gray to discuss skill acquisition's place as one of sports largely untapped performance frontiers.
