Mini episode: 10 Adaptive tools for the contemporary sport scientist (Pt 1)
Episode description
Sport scientists face one of the most rapidly changing roles in all of sport. This episode proposes 10 adaptive tools - new types of training, skill sets, operational processes or even mindsets - that sport scientists can call upon to not only help adapt to changing conditions in their workplace, but also to thrive and take advantage of these anticipated changes.
It borrows from concepts introduces in Gerd Gigerenzer's 'Bounded Rationality: The Adaptive Toolbox' as well as a 2020 paper from Sam Robertson in the Journal of Sports Sciences
To help host work through the first five of these in part 1 of this mini episode, Dr Alice Sweeting joins the show for the first time.
