What is the new, revolutionary way people are becoming skillful? How is sports practice and coaching becoming more creative and fun—giving athletes the opportunity to explore and support their own individuality and creativity? Why is it time we move away from the idea that we learn through boring repetition of a skill in an un-game-like practice environment, running through tires, hitting off tees, and dribbling through cones?

A look at the exciting alternative approach to how we learn to move and its implications for practice design, coaching, keeping kids engaged in sports, injury prevention, developing training technology, using analytics, and more.

Just wow!! As an enthusiastic parent, unschooling my three sons, coaching their soccer teams, having earned my Master’s degree in Equine Experiential Learning, getting super excited learning more how humans effectively learn, and also coaching adults through my life coaching practice, this book had so many “ah-has!”, quick answers to some questions I’ve received as well as clear insights into some problematic areas I haven’t been able to put my finger on (why exactly do I avoid drills and cones). I suggest any youth coaches go through the grassroots training and soak in as much of Rob Gray’s teaching through this book and his podcast as possible, parents too. Brilliant!!

A must for coaches & parents alike

The author did a great job reinforcing every point he made with fun, memorable analogies. He also illustrated how the legacy approach to training often times is inefficient yet the sports world continues using old non-proven methods. He makes a strong case for this type of training. The type of training where you foster variety and creativity to find invariants. Good stuff.

Real insight on how to modernize training

Dr. Gray does an outstanding job explaining how we learn to move and become skillful. Rich in theory and application. I particularly liked how he described research related to motor learning and baseball batting.

Excellent Read for Coaches

It's a great book for coaches and athletes to get them thinking about the methods used to perfect or innovate their skill sets. Needs sport-specofoc follow-up books.

Good supplement to the book.
