Episode 6 - Motor Learning and Mental Skills w/ Andy Bass

What’s up everyone and welcome back to another episode of the Hot Takes Performance Podcast.  In this episode, I am joined by Andy Bass.  Andy is a Mental Skills Coach for the Pittsburgh Pirates.  Andy is a former professional baseball player, playing for multiple professional baseball organizations.  He also has multiple degrees including a PhD and he specializes in all things sport psychology and motor learning.  Andy and I met after we both were featured on  an Episode of the Coach Your Brains Out Podcast which is hosted by a previous guest on the podcast John Mayer.  Andy is a consistent feature on that podcast where he shares his experience working in professional baseball, but also his expertise in regards to skill acquisition, ecological dynamics, and motor learning theories.  This episode was a great conversation and we covered a range of topics including attractor theory, practical applications of the constraints-led approach in baseball, sport psychology resources for college athletes, as well as many other subjects.  I hope you all enjoy the episode and feel free to reach out to us on Instagram at Hot Takes Performance Podcast.  I hope you guys enjoy the show. Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/hottakesperformancepodcast/Follow Our Host:https://www.instagram.com/strengthcoachrob/
