Episode 232: Nick Winkelman - The Language of Coaching

This episode guest is Nick Winkelman. Nick is head of athletic performance and science for the Irish Rugby Football Union.  Nick was formerly the director of education for EXOS, and oversaw the speed and assessment component of their combine development program.  Nick is an internationally recognized speaker, and has his Ph.D with a focus on motor learning and sprinting.  Nick also has an anticipated upcoming book called “The Language of Coaching” where he goes in detail on his learnings and methods on the impact that communication has on an athlete’s ability to learn and perform movements.

On this episode we discuss:

• How Nick is getting through Co-vid
• We talk about the genesis of his book "The language of Coaching"
• I ask Nick how did get a passion to study motor learning and skill acquisition
• We discuss internal vs external cues and when to use either
• The layout of his book

This was an outstanding episode and I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did!

Stay Strong,

RB
