This is my ode to coaching built upon my time and experience in this sport and my actual career choice of teaching people how to move. Take from it what you will. I get what the eco bros are saying - there is a better way to teach/coach. I agree with that sentiment.....Butttt....Word Salad explanations helps no one. Understanding how people learn motor skills does help people. Ecological - adjective "relating to or concerned with the relation of living organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings." - Oxford language definitionThe dictionary definition above highlights how "Ecological Approach" is a stupid name in my opinion.
