Further Thoughts<\/b><\/p>\n

\n
• Interview Player A to ask: \u201cWhy did you kick the ball because it was never done before in any of the previous 8 sessions?\u201d;<\/li>\n
• Interview Player B to ask: \u201cWhat did you see\/what were you thinking\/why did you do what you did, especially when we have never talked about\/taught kicking before?\u201d;<\/li>\n
• Interview with Player C to ask: \u201cWhy did you look so surprised about my response to your question: \u201cMr Nick…Can we kick it?\u201d?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
  \n
  • Create further ways to increase the creativity and curiosity of the boys;<\/li>\n
  • To think of \u201cconditions\/constraints\u201d to facilitate the fact the players can kick like this already at the age of 8 and 9;<\/li>\n
  • To think of \u201cconditions\/constraints\u201d to facilitate the fact the players enjoy the fact they can kick;<\/li>\n
  • To make sure the players \u2018Know and Understand\u2019 when and where to kick.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Thank You<\/strong><\/p>\n

    To Brendan Chaplin (@BrendanChaplin) for setting up the first ever Online Strength and Conditioning International Conference where I was able to see and listen to Graeme McDowall\u2019s (@GraemeMcDowall) presentation on Motor Learning and Skill Acquisition from an Ecological-Dynamic Perspective.<\/p>\n

    This presentation gave me the INSPIRATION to carry out the Research Project I have just done using the \u201cconstraints-led approach\u201d with the 3rd Basico Escaleta group.<\/p>\n
