My guest on this episode is Adam Young, a golf instructor and author of the excellent book The Practice Manual.

We discussed Adam’s personal journey in developing a unique task-oriented teaching style. He explained how his early experiences with textbook-based instruction led to physical injuries and frustration, prompting him to explore alternative methods.

We also discussed a variety of topics related to motor learning, including the effects of internal versus external attention, the complexity of biomechanics, why deliberately making mistakes can be helpful, and the psychological and cultural factors inhibiting the exploration of new movement patterns.

Even if you're not interested in golf, I think you will find Adam's ideas highly relevant to any movement-based practice, in the context of either rehab or performance.
