[@nathanmoore8597]

I was heartbroken when I realized this video series isn’t done 😂 these first 8 chapters have been much more digestible with your explanations! Thank you!

[@isabellecousineau302]

Feedback is so crucial when communicating with athletes which includes positive feedback and constrictive feedback.

[@moirabryson5042]

I didn't realize that practice can be brokedown so much from whole vs part and then a further breakdown of part in 3 different ways. Thank you!

[@lexireynish5892]

I've definitely have had coaches that weren't the best at giving any feedback, but I feel like I grew the most from coaches that were good at giving process feedback.

[@tianguyen3897]

I never knew about the different variations of whole vs part practices until now! Thanks, Dr. Goodin!

[@zoiezantua7002]

It makes so much sense to breaking up the practices so that we master them before putting them together

[@clairemasterson6031]

Feedback was always my favorite part of the cool down in practice

[@alannabergherm8046]

Breaking down the movement pattern into sections is really helpful in learning and mastering the skill!

[@kelli-lynroche8446]

I appreciate how you discussed the different forms of feedback and what each one is better for -- knowledge of results vs knowledge of performance.

[@macynunez4455]

So cool to reflect on how these strategies were used during all of my sports practices growing up with taking time to learn movements and skills through breaking it down and training with each subcomponent and how we can implement these as coaches!

[@emmasanchez5975]

I think it really helps to break down each movement to fully understand what we're doing before putting it all together.

[@jakegonzales1367]

Pure Part Training and your explanation of how you breakdown the practice. Start with jerk, the power clean, then the final clean and jerk. Easy explanation and easy to grasp after you explained it!

[@wyattcarlson7504]

This idea about feedback and how it can be used is such an interesting concept. In one area it can directly influence the performance at hand and in another it can be used to learn from and applied in future activities.

[@caleighgarcia7792]

pure-part training and progressive-part training were huge concepts for me during volleyball and basketball. Since I was new to these sports in high school, by using these training styles, I was able to perfect and learn new forms when going between the sports.

[@dimitricarrion6145]

I liked that you mentioned part practice being useful because you could then string together the things you practiced for one fluid movement

[@ryanharris8481]

I appreciate how detailed every aspect of this video is. I did not know how intricate the different parts of practice and training can be.

[@user-sd3sv7uq7f]

The breakdown of each learning strategy was great! Not only every sport have its own learning strategy but each athlete as well. Understanding how to adapt each one to the athletes is very important

[@makennakaczmarczyk7563]

I enjoyed learning about the different ways practice can be broken up in parts and the different practice schedules to enhance learning!

[@madelinejewelnebril2871]

When I teach skills to new dancers, I will keep the forms of augmented feedback in mind to make sure I am not just focusing on whether or not they did the movement right, but giving them feedback on how they performed the movement.

[@avajgallo]

This was a great overview of sports psychology and good reminders for all of us. Thanks Dr. Goodin!!

[@jupshaw]

I like how you categorized each different learning strategy as every athlete is different in their desired method of learning a skill.

[@emilywalker9462]

This was definitely such a fascinating series, and I enjoyed it a lot! I like the variable practice, alongside practicing game like scenarios so that you are not a deer in the headlights when it is the real deal. This is how I grew up playing sports and it was very helpful. On weekends where we did not have tournaments we would do yoga and mind work in the morning as a whole club and the scrimmage as if we were at a tournament. This helped a lot!

[@ppplanters]

Thank you for taking the time to help us students who are preparing for the test. This has been helpful for me in terms of studying the chapters. I can't wait for the next chapter to be released.

[@brysonhashimoto2878]

This is very important and breaking down a movement into smaller steps is greatly beneficial to retain information. Chunking it down is something I will incorporate into my sports performance.

[@ChynnaKifer]

My coach was very good at giving instructions that it actually helped me enhance my game! It allowed be to build up my intrinsic feedback.

[@joyshang5670]

I like how you mention the fluid movement of an exercise since I always found it to be interesting when I first started weightlifting.

[@audreyoates3242]

It truly helps to learn and perfect a movement pattern by breaking it down!

[@SuperAykt]

We need more videos of you mr goodin.. Thank you.

[@kylesands9693]

Part practice is a great way to reinforce good habits in any sport!

[@braedenmoore3743]

I enjoyed learning about the guided discovery method that gives the athlete the freedom to accomplish the task or goal how they want to do it.

[@dereklinck2672]

The breakdown of the pure part and whole part practices was very interesting and made me think about some of the skills I'm proud about and what practices I used to attain them.

[@torilucht5871]

There are so many aspects of sports psychology and it was very interesting to me to see how it all comes together for an athlete. For this video in particular, I appreciated the explanation on the different way to enhance motor skills!

[@BrianaReynoso]

I've never recognized how many components there are to practice and how they can enhance motor skill!

[@thelmasepulveda4481]

I liked learning about the different types of feedback because I can utilize them as a future coach!

[@hannahb872]

Found this video helpful with reviewing all the sections in the readings for chp. 8. I saw many parallels to practicing methods some of my old coaches had in the past and used in practice and prepping for the season

[@morganrolleri9198]

I appreciated the examples and the in depth explanations about teaching specific movements.

[@ajaynangalia334]

Thank you for the time and effort that you put in.. I'm just starting to study for the CSCS and found your sessions gold!! 😃 🙏🏽

[@willhopkins4197]

Great end to this four part series. Loved hearing about the different ways to teach specific movements, and the examples you gave for each one. I got to experience these teaching strategies in class when we were learning to olympic lift, and you broke it down into stages!

[@MatthewDuPrey325]

I really enjoyed how you went over feedback I know for me personally what used to work best was to allow me to watch myself so it is cool to also learn about the other types of feedback.

[@DevanneyBoyd]

After taking education courses, it is interesting to see the carryover and differences in instruction and feedback with athletics.

[@jadenrea1109]

This video was great at highlighting different aspects of practice and training. Many of these aspects were new to me and was interesting to relate to my old sports training.

[@wyntonbrown9439]

I find watching videos or live demonstration to be very helpful while trying to get better or increase my skill

[@umanggurjar8722]

Hello sir, You are great, I am a student of sports science and preparing for nsca cscs exam, I am always see your videos after go through the chapter, and these videos are very very Informative for us, thank you so much sir for giving this much knowledge....... LOVE FROM INDIA 😊

[@rozalynnlarson8835]

I liked learning about the whole vs part practice. It's a lot easier to learn a new skill when it's broken down into parts. Also, it was interesting to learn about all the different part practice subcomponents.

[@xXForgetxitXx]

Man, implementing random order and variable practice into my daily training has been a real game changer. The intra-day learning is slower, but over time it really boosts skill learning. Context: I'm a circus artist, so skill acquisition and retention are always important. The article "research illuminates the benefits of random practice over blocked practice in motor learning" on Human Kinetics was what prompted me to make the change.

[@madelinehernandez8838]

Great end to a series. I really liked this sports psych section, everything was very interesting and relatable.

[@Adam.gates_]

Using segmentation was super helpful in learning the snatch last week!

[@matthewwadley4348]

It was interesting to hear about the forms of augmented feedback. Will definitely keep in mind for the future

[@jasonpena3556]

Thank you for the knowledge on the affects of various feedbacks with training

[@kathryncederlind1681]

I am so thankful for your time and effort.

[@cameransherwood5157]

The idea feedback to basketball players shooting free throws is something I have checked out in the past. Its crazy the differences in data shows for athletes shooting percentages who have this feedback from a shooting coach who is watching every detail of their form and shot(inc %) compared to those who are just shooting X amount of ft shots and not tracking each shot in detail (lowered %)

[@julianasum8481]

It is interesting to see how whole vs part practice can help an athlete seek better performance results.

[@emilydonahue8216]

I think that it's cool how specific feedback can actually help improve athletes!

[@aribhalla9820]

It's interesting learning about the two types of augmented feedback and recognizing how my coaches have given me both types of feedback throughout my training in tennis.

[@rajatshrma3]

Your channel is just full of incredible knowledge. Thank you very very much. Keep up the good work. Should have way more subscribers.

[@bensonmutuvi8429]

Never realized the differences between whole practice and part practice and how they can apply during sports and not just weightlifting

[@shiva-un1sm]

Thank you so much, Doc.

[@ameliabrock]

At 2:18 you mentioned 'working on tension in the lower back', I'm way ahead of you. My lower back is always tense 😂😅

[@Delaveee]

THANK YOU FOR THESE VIDEOS!!!

[@celinegriffin3244]

It was great to learn about whole versus part practice!

[@makaylageorge9978]

Thank you for this great content!

[@laurenomalley9063]

Instruction is such an important thing for an athlete and it was really interesting to learn about the different types.

[@zacharybailey977]

Love the channel!

[@jamarmack9626]

I found the random practice to be a very interesting way to train because I have never personally done this method before, and think that it would be hard to keep switching skills

[@Neveragain188]

Nice to see really authentic content it does what it says on the tin

[@DrJacobGoodin]

I really appreciate your kind feedback on all these. You're flying through them!

[@lucamarin8565]

Was very interesting to learn the different types of feedback.

[@movimientoesvida5203]

Hola doc!! Lo sigo y veo sus videos desde Argentina!! Muvhas gracias por su dedicacion y enseñanza! Saludos

[@DrJacobGoodin]

¡eres muy bienvenido! ¡Me alegra que a través del video podamos hacer crecer una comunidad científica de entrenamiento y fuerza que traspase fronteras!

[@melanieweirich8482]

During my time on the swim team I wish we had a lot more explicit instruction. I think for sports that are so form heavy its really important. Guided discovery is important too but I would fear it could end up with some "permanently" implementing wrong form.

[@hayleesaurette1798]

Feedback is key for athletes, whether that be intrinsic or augmented.

[@joshuawada8783]

Simplification with exercises is something I definitely need to work on. I feel like the supporting muscles I have for bench press are quite weak so it makes it quite hard to bench heavier weights.

[@McMeatBag]

Hey Dr. Goodin, Can you do more videos on your concurrent training? Particularly how to program maintenance phases for each modality.

[@markandoyo2204]

My own set of Motor Skills can be interrupted with ADHD proximities as though even to watching those sports contents can sense me to drive my motor skills if those actions I comprehended them how they works👍

[@keonihughes4242]

I was going over a question with a friend from work, and he asked if a recent mlb pitcher recruit was observed by the coaches and they said that his pitching movements would not work in the mlb(bad technique, and pitch ques). Would the athlete be able to change his technique even though he’s been pitching the other way his whole life? Would increase injury risk for the athlete?

[@abhisheknayak7862]

Sir, does our body adapts to cardio and burn less calories than last time doing same cardio with same effort nd duration??

[@joshcombs123]

I have tried all of these different types of training and still do not know what I even like the most. I see each as beneficial and cannot pick the best one.

[@qasimhelal]

Hi Dr Jacob, hope you are fit in these hard times. I have done graduation in Bsc ( Hons) Sports Science in 2020 and now I am going pursue masters in Physiology or either in Biomechanics I am confused between these two. In India we given more favour to a biomechanist but other sports science disciplines didn't have good promising career. I am confused between biomechanics and physiology and hopefully I will give priority to physiology, but I am not happy because we have very esteemed centres like SAI ( which hire physiologist or other disciplines for contract basis say for 3 years or for 5 years, which I don't personally don't like). Only coaches and biomechanist work together most of the time, mostly. Coaches and Biomechanist work together but physiologist are treated like doctors only. Even, we have IPL which is a very prestigious league in our what I see physio is absent in most of the teams. I think this is because we as Indians still very far from achieving excellence in sports. That's why I contacted you and also I like your videos very much they are impressive and very knowledgeable. Dr Goodin, if you have any advice for me , I will not show any stubbornness to accept it, but I will greately acknowledge that. That was my question and sorry I wasted your 5 minutes or maybe 10 in reading this. That's it, I hope your future will be healthy and successful.Love and Respect from India.

[@austiniturbe4495]

I remember explaining to my team how to perform a 1-3-1 press. I was very simple and precise to make sure everyone understood. Is that Fractionilization?

[@DrJacobGoodin]

I'm not sure what a 1-3-1 press is Austin, could you elaborate?

I liked your examples for how practices can be broken down into whole and part, it really helps me understand these concepts.
