Where it all began for me. Click here to link to site Stuart Armstrong works for UK coaching and coaches various youth sports. I was alerted to its existence by Greg Spencer, and was sucked in by the early "War on Drills" episode. Since then I've been dragged into a world of lots of terminology I struggle to get my head round! But at its heart the podcast seeks to make coaching fun and engaging for the kids, and also meaningful. There are some interesting discussions around Talent Identification, which is a controversial topic for debate in slalom, Skill Acquisition and how to make it as efficient and fun as possible and numerous other topics. They always seem to come back to a constraints lead, games based, ecologically dynamic coaching environment, and are entertaining and informative, even when discussing sports I have no knowledge of and no interest in.
