Working with Parents in Sport Yes but when you look at the fun determinant rankings you will see that ‘competing’ comes way higher than ‘winning’. Important not to conflate these things I would say. This conversation with Amanda J. Visek, PhD explains digs into this in more detail. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…

Brilliant thread Alex Sarama…the key here is to recognise that fun isn’t frivolous, fun isn’t ‘messing around’. Fun stems from working hard and being committed and trying to build stronger connections. Just ask Amanda J. Visek, PhD!

Bra tankar här av Ulf Hall kring kravställning och hur vi bygger en ny generation hockey spelare. Att utvecklas, känslan att kämpa tillsammans och känna tillhörighet i ett lag är det som forskningen säger (Amanda J. Visek, PhD) att barn upplever träning/idrott som kul. #talentdevelopment

This was the absolute most fun! 🤩 Biggest thank you to Anders Wahlström and Swehockey, extraordinary exemplars of using science to drive practice and practice to drive the science needed to discover best practices. #funmaps

Metaphor is a powerful teaching and learning tool. And in research, where the climb is often long and arduous, Sam Zizzi’s #ResearchMountain is helpful for summiting. If you’re a research scholar feeling stuck, this #openaccess paper can help you find your way.
