My Guest today is Yuji Suzuki!

Yuji works as a chiropractor and a remote coach to help people of all backgrounds overcome obstacles related to their health and fitness.

Over the years, his education has shifted his views on how he can be most helpful to someone dealing with pain and injuries, particularly being informed by the updated models of pain and the ecological dynamics framework for approaching human movement. Yuji was a guest on this show in episode 69, which you can listen to here.

This time Yuji and I discuss the blog post he wrote for Emergence titled "The Ecological Dynamics of Musculoskeletal Rehab"

In this episode we unpack and expand on some of the concepts that Yuji touches in in his blog post!

One quick note before we get started, you may have seen on social media that we at Emergence have announced the dates for the 2024 Sport Movement Skill Conference. This is a hybrid online and in person event and is my favorite event of the year. You have the option of attending for the lectures, the in person coaching or both. It’s completely up to you

Hey everyone, welcome to today's show!

On this episode, we are going to be doing a deep dive on practice design! This is a topic many of you are very interested in and passionate about so I figured we would shine a light on it.

To do this, I've compiled some clips from some of my amazing guests that will give you their insights on practice design. In addition to that, I will be giving my input on each clip to hopefully guide you towards your own takeaways.

I hope you enjoy the show!

My guest for today’s episode is Dr. Martina Navarro. Martina is a native of Brazil and a senior lecture at the university of Portsmouth in the UK. She received her undergrad from the university of São Paulo in Brazil and her PhD from São Paulo and the university of Amsterdam in Netherlands.

Her PhD focused on effects of strategies and high levels of stress and anxiety and human cognition and motor control

She has also done post doctorate work in , Switzerland was awarded the excellence, doctoral research fellowship by the Swiss government and subsequently joined the Institute of sports science at the university of Bern

She is also the UK head of the athletic skills model a framework that offers an alternative perspective to talent development theories in the form of holistic broad-based movement education. More on this later.

Martina was also a high-level Taekwondo practitioner and competed at the Olympic level. Both her and I share a background in Taekwondo admittedly she competed at a much higher level than I did.

In this conversation, we do touch on her background and Taekwondo, but we also go into what the athletic skills model is, and how coaches can apply some of their frameworks to training and practice,

Athletes are often told to spend more and more hours training in their sport, but the athletic skills model provides a different way of looking at long-term athletic development. Emphasizing a variety of movements and movement experiences. We get into all this and so much more.
