Terribly saddened to hear this news. Colin contributed so much to the sport and so many will have benefited from his time, effort, and support over the years. His presence trackside will be sorely missed.

We have now published an article that (1) comments on this paper specifically and (2) calls attention to important principles to consider when planning systematic reviews more generally in order to maximise impact for applied practice. doi.org/10.1037/spy000…

Great to work with this talented pair on a paper that encourages application. Surely what sports science should be about!

A new paper from us that critically explores application and implications of a constraints-led approach within an American football coaching context.

Hot off the press! Ray Bobrownicki, Howie J. Carson, Alan C. MacPherson & Dave Collins’ paper is available open access Routledge Sport, Leisure, and Tourism; ‘Constraints of the constraints-led approach in American football and comments on Yearby et al. (2002)’ doi.org/10.1080/216406…

Just finished building an Ikea desk for our little guy’s bedroom and now I’m ready for some (American) football. #superbowl #eagles #latenight

Dang…

A practical read: "A continuation of the status quo – where criticisms are not addressed or remain unacknowledged – is not in the interest of applied practitioners who will want to understand how, why, and when to either apply or avoid implicit methods." tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Our newest paper, which critically explores the utility of implicit learning from a sport coaching perspective, is now available free for anyone to read.

Another publication from the DCU_Performance team Jamie Taylor @MAGreyMattersUK Rosie Collins. Hopefully it will be of use to coaches working with a range of athletes/participants in a range of contexts. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Usual free copies. This one is us questionning the lpublicised paper that inks between Bruce Lee and EcoD. Rather similar to when we questioned the link between EcoD and American Football!! Enjoy tandfonline.com/eprint/VW2U5DV…

Fifty free copies of our latest paper that aims to 1) stimulate debate and 2) encourage wider and more nuanced perspectives in skill acquisition research and practice. ‘It is difficult to understand the universe if you only study one planet’: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Our attempt to exemplify the science and logic of conditional knowledge for coaches, teachers and students. A text book for the it depends approach and critical consumption of research into practice. Written by active coaches and researchers for practitioners

Wow. I’ve had to watch this a few times. Barkley got 10+ extra yards in this play via a series of manoeuvres that potentially no other player in the NFL would or could have performed (or maybe even imagined), including spinning and then hopping backwards over a defender.

Take a look at this. Critical thoughts around some concerns with the heavily promoted approach of Ecological Dynamics and associated ideas as THE approach for coaching link.springer.com/10.1007/s40279…
