kraftletics coaching art 

Where motor learning science meets the art of coaching

Back to overview

01

summary

In this course you will learn why many popular coaching approaches are not as effective as one might think. Understand and practice our unique coaching method that uses a blended approach, drawing from Anders Ericsson's work on deep practice, Peter Gray's research on play, and the studies on motor learning, intrinsic motivation by Gabriele Wulf and Dr. Rebecca Lewthwaite, movement primitives of Dr. Eric Cobb and many more. Gain a unique blend of coaching skills to efficiently and effectively lead individual and diverse group training sessions. Practice and develop language, cueing, observation, and thinking skills with your fellow coaches.
