These are heady times for the British Columbia Lottery Corporation. Just weeks after hosting its annual New Horizons in Safer Gambling conference, BCLC was awarded the Best Flagship Responsible Gaming Award – Level 4 in Paris at the World Lottery Association's annual global summit. So, we invited the corp's director of player health, Ryan McCarthy to make his return to the Gaming News Canada Show. McCarthy, who joined BCLC in August 2022, spoke about the recognition by the WLA, and his three key takeaways from the latest New Horizons conference. Highlighted was a keynote address by Dr. Shawn DuBravac on Gambling on the Safer Side: A Different Approach to Creating Competitive Advantage. He also dug into the continued changes around responsible gaming involving not only BCLC, but other provincial lottery and gaming corporations, operators, regulators and, of course, players. For BCLC, that includes its highly acclaimed GameSense initiative which is also used by operators including MGM Resorts and BetMGM. Our conversation not surprisingly included a segment on artificial intelligence. We also asked McCarthy about the collaboration between player health advocates, revenue teams and others within BCLC to maintain balance between growing the business and prioritizing protecting customers.

When Brianne Doura-Schawohl joined the Massachusetts Council on Compulsive Gambling in the fall of 2013, the overturning of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act in the United States was five years away and amending the Criminal Code of Canada to pave the way for legal single-event sports betting was eight years away. Since then, Doura-Schawohl has gone on to become a leading voice on responsible gambling and problem gambling in senior leadership roles with the National Council on Problem Gambling, and EPIC Risk Management. In her current role as CEO of Doura-Schawohl Consulting LLC, she's working with stakeholders across the regulated gambling industry to address the growing concern around problem gambling. On the latest episode of the Gaming News Canada Show, Doura-Schawohl discussed the impact that the fast-moving mobile/online gambling industry in the U.S. is having on people, the influence of gambling advertising and famous brand ambassadors on players, concerns about increased gambling activity among college students, the need for more research into problem gambling, and the responsibility that stakeholders across the industry have to make gambling safer. Doura-Schawohl, who doesn't shy away from advocating for more tangible action on RG, also provided more than a few words of praise to RG efforts in Ontario and across the rest of Canada by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario – when creating the province's regulated sports betting and igaming marketplace – the Responsible Gambling Council and BCLC with its GameSense self-exclusion program that is being used by operators in the U.S. Hosted on Acast.

Call it one way to become. . . er. . . . more wordly. OK, OK, apologies for the lousy pun. Truth is, however, that the latest episode of your friendly neighbourhood GNCS podcast has a distinct international flavour. The latest episode started in Berlin, where Bayes Esports head of growth and finance Christopher Bohlmann joined us to expand on the comments he made in the Gaming News Canada newsletter about the “healthy transformation” of the esports industry over the first two months of 2023. Then it was off to New York, where iGaming Next managing director Pierre Lindh was setting up his automatic “We're Sold Out” reply (OK, that's a statement of the Trumpian/Santos kind) while giving our listeners a lay of the land for next week's NYC23 conference in The Big Apple. https://twitter.com/iGamingNEXT/status/1631217862751682560 Ryan McCarthy, the BCLC's person in charge of player health, called in from Vancouver to set the table for the lottery corporation's New Horizons in Responsible Gambling get-together next week along with the BCLC's five-year extension of its GameSense partnership with MGM Resorts International and BetMGM that was announced this week. https://twitter.com/BCLC/status/1631101227730898944 PointsBet Canada CCO Nic Sulsky returned to the show for the first time in a few weeks to discuss the operator's new responsible gambling message from Kerri Einarson's four-time Canadian curling championship rink. https://youtu.be/zxT6TIumRhk Sulsky also provided a few thoughts on the announcement this week that Bally's was shutting down Monkey Knife Fight, the daily fantasy sports business which Sulsky helped create in 2017. Finally, regular contributors Amanda Brewer of Kindred Group and Kris Abbott of Kaizen Gaming/Betano also provided their usual keen insight into the latest news from around the industry.

In this episode I chat with Jack Rolfe who is the owner of the Coaching Lab – a business that aims to provide coaches at all levels with tools and resources to improve their coaching, especially within games. One of the resources the Coaching Lab offers are match play cards – a set of cards with a variety of both team and individual challenges that you can apply to coaching in game settings. We discuss a few examples and how they may be utilised in the training environment. Another cool resource is a set of reflection cards that contain open ended questions that engage the athletes and develop a deeper though process in the reflection period. Again, we will discuss specific examples of how to use these. During this chat Jack provides some really helpful examples of you can develop a dynamic and exciting learning environment for your athletes whether it be at the grassroots level or at the elite level. Some of the key messages for me in this talk is that Jack has developed the cards to provide both individual challenges and team challenges. As coaches we tend to focus more on team outcomes and coach the individual less during periods of tactical or game-based training. By incorporating individualised challenges this can provide more individualised coaching within a game-based setting. Explaining why you may be using a games-based approach to all stakeholders, athletes, parents and the wider club community may be important to ensure all are on the same page. Often the science behind this approach is unknown outside of coaching circles so explaining that we can still tick off skill development, conditioning and so forth whilst also developing better decision makers is a useful way to get everyone heading in the same direction. To quote Jack directly “The role of the coach is to create a space and inspire players to be creative” and “creativity in sport is often the ability to have more solutions to the same problem” by providing a space where athletes feel comfortable to develop these skills will often harness the best outcomes long term.

Professor Shane Pill from Flinders University in South Australia is one of the leading experts and researchers in coaching and sports education. He was recently awarded the Presidents Award by the Australian Council for Health, Physical Education and Recreation for distinguished service to the profession. Shane discusses his transition from a physical education teacher in the 1980's to his role researching coaching pedagogies and specifically the game sense approach to coaching and teaching sport. He discusses the differences between pedagogical models of teaching skills through games and highlights the requirement for struggle to promote growth and development. Shane is a wealth of knowledge in this area and his explanations will hopefully go towards coaches being able to apply some of the methods he discusses to build more resilient and skillful athletes. Take away's from this episode are:1.That Kids and athletes play sports to play the game – the best way to prepare them for playing is by actually playing the game not by using one dimensional training drills that require little or no decision making. 2.A games based approach has to be purposeful and provide meaningful learning opportunities. 3.Athletes require some amount of struggle to learn and develop, but there has to be a struggle point – too hard and we lose the athletes, too easy and the learning process is not effective. This podcast is Part 1 of 2.

Over Christmas I got to reading some books. The latest from Andreu Enrich '50 tips for intelligent players' spoke to me very deeply so I asked Andreu to come back on the show following his debut with me just before Christmas to talk me through some of the ideas in the book and let me check my understanding of some of the concepts. Although this book was originally written with Field Hockey players in mind, it has significant cross over and transfer to a range of other invasion sports. The tips are written for players but they have huge potential for the development of coaches as they ask questions about the kind of environments that are required to support the development of 'intelligent players'. In part 2 we cover 6 of the later chapters that I handpicked because they were particularly interesting to me. Hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

Jaime Cevallos Interview (1-hour, 1-min total time for interview)...here are the time-stamps of the audio interview, so you can skip around: I asked Jaime, "How do you explain to people what it is you do?" Talks about his interest in movement, and how he got invited to Golf's Safeway Open as a swing coach [about 1-min mark] Talked about how Jaime's book Positional Hitting was a fantastic transition for me from when I used to teach Down & Through. Here's the Jaime Cevallos Four Hour Work Week Blog post featuring him titled: How I Did It: From $7 an Hour to Coaching Major League Baseball MVPs [about 3-min mark] I asked Jaime, "I understand you started in golf analysis before jumping into the baseball swing...what were your takeaways from golf that made a difference with the baseball swing?" The pain from quitting baseball, made him obsessive about figuring out the swing. Importance of bent back arm impact position of good Golfers - noticed similar thing in baseball. Comparing Ben Hogan to Babe Ruth and how similar their swings were. Learning the "Slot Position" and spotting patterns. [answers about 10-min mark] The challenge of teaching amateur hitters to hit the ball as hard and as far as you can, and that only fixing ineffective mechanics - or not. Teaching high level mechanics to youth hitters. Player definitely needs to be curious about hitting, hard work not necessarily needed at a young age. How many young hitters would read Charlie Lau's book at 12yo? If teaching doesn't allow hitter to not be robotic, then most likely it's the coaching cue that's the issue. [about 14:30 mark] I asked Jaime, "A question I get asked all the time is, do you believe the baseball and Fast-Pitch Softball swing are two totally different things?" Differences being reaction time and stride timing...no real difference in what you're trying to accomplish with the swing. Understanding cricket and how golfers don't care about Golf "Ball Exit Speed", they care more about precision and accuracy. [about 21-min, 30-sec mark] Jaime quote that addresses those coaches that ask, "So how many Big League AB's do you have?" Should we take what MLB hitting instructors say as gospel? Here's Jaime's quote I mentioned in the interview, "MLB hitting coaches are motivated by keeping their job, not developing innovative principles. If they change a franchise player's swing, and that player gets worse, their name is forever blacklisted. Word will spread that he makes good hitters bad. And regardless of how many hitters he has helped, the one he “ruined” will be the bane of his career. GMs will attach his name with money flying out the window. He can just take a seat next to Jose Canseco in the list of people who will never be offered a contract. Because of this, MLB hitting coaches develop vague hitting methods, appearing to help when the team is doing well, yet standing on no specific method when the team is struggling. It's common for them to wait until a player on the team gets hot, and associate themselves to that player as much as possible. I've seen it time and time again.” We're in a swing instruction revolution. The MLB hitting coaches are catching up. [about 28-min mark] If you have something of value you can offer to a professional ball player, then go and seek them out in the winter to work with them. It doesn't matter if you have baseball experience, if you have a passionate curiosity for finding out the swing, then go for it! The fallacy credibility indicator of "30 years of coaching"...it's not the year in your coaching, it's the coaching in your years. The willingness to take chances and experiment with your teaching/coaching young hitters. [about 31-min mark] Jaime talks about his new product the PitchView Pitch Recognition Training Aid. Biggest area of opportunity to solve a problem in a sport. Hitting is four different skills: Eye Hand Coordination, Mechanics, Strength & Speed, and Pitch Recognition. Jaime feels eye-hand coordination is pretty much tapped out. How juggling at a young age helped Jaime's eye-hand coordination, however he feels it didn't help him that much in hitting - more so in fielding. What steroid-era taught us about the Strength & Speed category. Swing mechanics is going through a revolution - opportunity here right now. Pitch Recognition is untapped right now. [about 36-min mark] The WHY, HOW, and WHAT of the PitchView PR Training Aid. How PR is currently being trained now. Protecting the hitter freeing them up to actively learn how to make their PR better during pitcher's bullpens. Connecting release motion to flight of the ball to hitters movement (timing). Currently working with Berkeley University baseball team as a LIVE case study. Your team record will depend on how effective and efficient your practices are. [about 40-min mark] I mentioned Dr. Peter Fadde and his Pitch Recognition software GameSense, CLICK HERE for this written interview I did with him. And CLICK HERE for Perry Husband in this interview about his Effective Velocity program on tracking and timing. [about 45-min mark] Jaime mentions the new book he's working on that will be a fantastic compliment to his last book Positional Hitting. This book will talk more about feel to transition the positions of the swing. [about 48-min mark] I asked Jaime, "If you could put anything on a ballpark jumbo-tron, in any MLB ballpark, what would you put on it?" Don't give up. What this means to him isn't what you think. Focus on movement - perfect most important movements. [about 51-min mark] I asked Jaime, "What advice would you give the beginning Positional Hitting Jaime?" He wouldn't change much, but would tell himself not to swing as much. He's someone who wants to perfect the swing, doesn't necessarily enjoy teaching. Swing motion is pretty hard on the body especially one-sided dominant hitters. Raul Ibanez told Jaime at 35yo to save your swings. Jaime's work on Gymnastics now to take care of his body. You need to start swinging from the other side - your body just needs it, and makes your preferred swing better.

In this episode of The Stories Behind the Bet, Philip James discusses the relevance of GameSense and the International Gaming Institute with Distinguished Fellow in Responsible Gaming Alan Feldman. GameSense is a way for casinos to prove they care about the gambling habits of their clientele, and it’s already making a difference for big names like MGM Resorts. Alan Feldman is an expert in this field. He has spent almost 30 years as a senior executive with MGM and Mirage, most recently spearheading the launch of GameSense programming throughout MGM properties. By doing so, the casino is able to both inadvertently and directly advertise responsible behavior to its players, encouraging them to adopt a less competitive attitude about gambling and reminding them that they’re there to have fun; as Feldman explains in the podcast, the house advantage is a real thing, and it’s not something that players can surmount with enough practice or a professional attitude.  Feldman also serves as the chair of both the Nevada Advisory Committee on Problem Gambling and the National Center for Responsible Gaming. His expertise is immensely valuable to the industry, and he’s been honored with myriad rewards; he was named Gaming Professional of the Year by the Casino Management Association in 2002, and received the Lifetime Achievement Award in Gaming Communications in 2009 from the American Gaming Association. At the International Gaming Institute at UNLV, Feldman is able to advocate for best practices in responsible gaming, helping to provide research-based solutions to the global gaming industry. SUMMARY In this episode, the following topics are discussed: – Alan Feldman introduction – What is GameSense? – Who uses GameSense and how does it work? – Casino values and customer expectations – Early feedback from MGM – GameSense as a responsible gaming program, not a problem gambling identifier – The difference between GameSense and self-limiting gambling – How operators can get involved – The International Gaming Institute at UNLV: what’s there and what’s new – Compliance versus corporate social responsibility – The significance of embedding responsible gaming in corporate culture – Final thoughts NOTES UNLV’s International Gaming Institute Self-limiting/self-exclusion gambling Self-exclusion by GameSense British Columbia Lottery Corporation GameSense Massachusetts GameSense Canada GameSense at MGM Resorts Learn more about episode guest Alan Feldman on his UNLV page or follow him on Twitter.

Coach Sherman also explains occlusion training, and ways that his pitch recognition product at gameSense is preparing players and coaches to implement it into their training regimens.   Show Notes: Guest: Dr. Peter Fadde, Chief Officer and Co-Founder of gameSense, and Associate Professor of Learning Systems Design & Technology at Southern Illinois University Dr. Fadde explains the benefits of occlusion training Dillan Lawson’s presentation at Slugfest used a soccer player kicking a goal with the lights turned off 2/3 of the way to teach occlusion training What is “pitch recognition” and how is it different from “plate discipline?” Dr. Fadde’s occlusion training offers the batter’s view point facing the pitcher with a maximum possible score of 250 Video cued tee work is tee work that includes the timing off of the pitcher Hitting baseballs is not like hitting golf balls or baseballs off of a tee Vision training focuses on visual skills like dynamic tracking, acuity, peripheral vision, and focus Pitch recognition should help hitters get the feel of the pitcher’s wind-up If you aren’t looking at a pitcher, then it isn’t really pitch recognition Live drills for hitters to call out “yes” or “no” on a particular pitch type before the ball hits the catcher’s mitt strengthens pitch recognition The best form of pitch recognition is standing in the bullpen Mike Schmidt wrote a fantastic books on hitting Attention occlusion drills should keep the batter focusing on the pitcher, not the catcher gameSense certified their first hitting coach Coach Killian at Elite Velocity in St. Louis, Missouri Softball is getting a boast again from entering into the Olympics   3 Key Points:    Pitch recognition is the perceptual skill of making an actionable meaning out of the pitch you see.  Your eyes can’t track pitch speeds over 83 miles an hour all the way into the bat.  Visualize the pitcher. Visualize the pitch. Visualize hitting that pitch.     Tweetable Quotes: “If you can test it, you can train it.” - Dr. Peter Fadde (4:53) “Human beings, and other animals, can learn incredible things with repetition, immediate feedback, and progressive difficulty.” - Dr. Peter Fadde (5:04) “When we say, ‘somebody has a great instinct for it,’ well, that’s where we now say, ‘ok, let’s try to figure out exactly what that is.’” - Dr. Peter Fadde (6:32) “Some guys like to have success at every level and build it up. And some guys just like to identify the wall they want to go through and then start smacking it.” - Dr. Peter Fadde (14:41) “The best way to practice recognizing pitches is to look at pitches.” - Dr. Peter Fadde (30:56) “A softball hitter really focusing on and getting good at pitch recognition could be looking at at a 20 or 25% improvement.” - Dr. Peter Fadde (51:20) Resources Mentioned:   Ahead of the Curve Podcast @AOTC_podcast peterfadde.com gameSense Sports Twitter: @DrFadde Email: fadde@siu.edu Website and Social Media sites for the show  www.aotcpodcast.com Twitter @aotc_podcast Facebook Ahead of the Curve Coaches Facebook group Instagram aotc_podcast

In episode 38 of The Robby Row Show I sit down with Doctor Peter Fadde who is a professor and director of the Learning Systems Design and Technology (LSDT) graduate program at Southern Illinois University. Peter and I met in May of this year when he came and gave a presentation on Pitch Recognition to the Southern Illinois Miners baseball team which I was apart of at the beginning of the year. I immediately told myself that I would eventually get Peter on the podcast because some of the stuff he was talking about is the stuff I totally geek out on. * Flow State* GameSense* Body/Mind Awareness* Expertise Based Training* System 1 and System 2 Training* Prefrontal Cortex Training* Stress Responders Limit Performance* Visualization * Optimizing Overall Performance Listen in as Peter and I totally geek out on some of the tools that we as athletes can utilize to help us become a better performer.
