Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep49 - Tim Kettenring Strategy - Back to Basics in Multidirectional Speed
Q: How should coaches sequence skill development from foundational movement to sport-specific decision making?
First develop universal fundamental movement skills, then progressively add sport-specific technical and tactical elements, and finally layer perception-action challenges through controlled, high-success environments.
Ep49 - Tim Kettenring Strategy - Back to Basics in Multidirectional Speed
Q: What is the core shift Tim suggests for teaching speed in multidirectional contexts?
Shift from a purely method-based approach to one grounded in principles, using plyo steps as linking movements and building acceleration from a stable, square or athletic position with reactive cues.
Ep32 - Liam Connor Strategy - Asking Deliberate Performance Questions
Q: How do you begin a project that aims to answer a performance question?
Begin by identifying the question you want to answer, then outline the data and constraints needed to answer it robustly, and only then collect and analyze information, aligning stakeholders and the environment to support that plan.
Ep32 - Liam Connor Strategy - Asking Deliberate Performance Questions
Q: What is the core idea behind the deliberate performance questions, and why is it important?
The core idea is to start with a clear question, then determine what you need to know to answer it, collect data deliberately, and be willing to adapt methods to the question rather than forcing data to fit a preconceived answer.
Ep38 - Michael Gerhardy Stumbles - "I tried to find an answer in every number!"
Q: What were some of the early research mistakes you made that have now shaped the way you look at data?
The biggest shift was moving away from an overreliance on p-values (the magic <0.05), toward considering effect sizes and the practical meaningfulness of changes; context matters, and a result can be valid even if the p-value is not provocative.
