Send us Fan MailNine years in, and the "room" for SMSC keeps getting smarter every year. This one landed three genuinely different debates, a set of award winners worth knowing, and a founder's-eye view of what the conference has become.Coach Jav starts us off with some quick takeaways from a busy month of June traveling across the country, presenting at various conferences and events, before turning to his main reflection on SMSC 2026. Then Shawn Myszka, founder of the Sport Movement Skill Conference, gives his own take on this year's event and what's ahead for 2027.Altis and the NHL: Where capacities fit in athlete development, and what a full day with 30-plus NHL and AHL coaches revealed about translating skill acquisition into a pro environmentQuestioning industry claims: Why the industry needs to audit ideas it treats as settled, using the SMSC debate stage as the case studySMSC 2026 debates: What came out of this year's public debates, where they landed, and where they didn'tAward winners: This year's Lifetime Achievement, Researcher of the Year, and Practitioner of the Year recipientsThe challenge point: This year's conference theme, and what it actually means to get pushed to the edge and stay thereShawn Myszka's reflection: Nine years in, what's changed, and a first look at where SMSC is headed for 2027For coaches and practitioners trying to figure out where skill acquisition actually fits inside a performance organization, not just in theory.
Send us Fan MailWhat are we really teaching when we teach Pilates?Is it stronger abs? Better posture? Improved mobility?Or is it something much bigger?In this episode of The Pilates Exchange, Hannah explores how Pilates can become a practice ground for resilience, confidence, and self-awareness. Inspired by the Mind Over Muscle workshop, we dive into the science behind challenge and discuss how movement can help clients build skills that extend far beyond the studio.We explore why appropriately dosed challenge helps us grow, how confidence develops through experience, why our brains change through repetition, and how thoughtful coaching creates lasting change.Whether you're a Pilates teacher, movement professional, or lifelong learner, this episode will challenge you to think differently about what happens every time someone steps onto a mat or reformer.In this episode:✔ Why challenge is essential for growth✔ The science of Hormesis and Stress Inoculation✔ How Self-Efficacy builds lasting confidence✔ Neuroplasticity and habit formation✔ Why autonomy and choice improve motivation✔ The importance of awareness in learning and change✔ Practical coaching ideas you can use in your next class
What if the advice you've been given for years about stretching is only part of the story?Millions of people stretch every day hoping to reduce pain, prevent injury and improve flexibility. Yet despite their best efforts, muscle tension returns, injuries keep recurring and movement often feels stiff and restricted.In this episode of the Total Somatics Show, Heidi Hadley explores why stretching alone cannot restore healthy neuromyofascial function. Discover how a mismatch between flaccid, underactive muscles and stiff, overloaded tendons can increase your risk of injury, and why modern pain science, movement science and fascial science are transforming the way we understand healthy movement.You'll also discover why pandiculation—our innate sensory motor reset mechanism—is emerging as one of the most effective ways to improve muscle function, restore movement quality and support long-term tendon health.In this episode you'll discover:✔ Why muscle flexibility alone doesn't guarantee healthy movement✔ The important relationship between muscles, tendons and fascia✔ How tendon stiffness can increase injury risk✔ Why repeatedly stretching tight muscles often produces only temporary results✔ The difference between passive stretching and active neuromuscular control✔ How pandiculation restores communication between your brain and muscles✔ Why modern pain science, movement science and fascial science all support improving sensory motor control✔ Practical ways to move more efficiently, reduce recurring tension and build long-term resilienceKey Takeaways• Healthy movement depends on communication between the brain, muscles, fascia and tendons—not simply increasing flexibility.• A muscle may appear "tight" because of altered neurological control rather than because it is physically short.• When muscles become inhibited or lose efficient control, tendons may compensate by becoming excessively stiff, increasing mechanical load and injury risk.• Improving sensory awareness and motor control through pandiculation helps restore balanced movement and healthier force distribution throughout the body.• Better movement quality—not simply more movement—is the key to long-term mobility and injury prevention.Continue Your Learning
Send us Fan MailWhat happens when inspiration becomes imitation?This episode was inspired by a conversation with a member of the Pilates community whose teacher training materials—including her written manuals, photographs, and original work—were copied and resold by someone who had enrolled in, but never completed, her program.While that story sparked this discussion, this episode is about something much bigger.As educators, coaches, and movement professionals, where do we draw the line between learning from others and creating something of our own?We discuss:why intellectual property matters in movement educationthe difference between inspiration, collaboration, and copyinggiving credit to the teachers and methods that shaped uscreating original manuals, teacher trainings, and educational resourceswhy every method is built on the shoulders of those who came before usand how integrity ultimately becomes part of your professional reputationEvery teacher is influenced by someone.The question is not whether you borrow ideas.The question is whether you acknowledge them, build upon them thoughtfully, and create something that genuinely reflects your own experience and perspective.Because your reputation is built not only on what you teach—but on how you choose to teach it.Season Sponsor:OfferingTree is an all-in-one business management platform built for boutique pilates and fitness studios.

He's also a co-author of a landmark paper on ecological dynamics in combat sports with Shawn Myszka, Tyler Yearby, Scott Sievewright, and Andy Grahn. Known for blending sharp insight with humor (and reminding everyone he's both handsome and funny), Adam brings a unique perspective to coaching and skill development.In this episode, we discuss:Why coaching is about relationships and culture first — and how SBG Athens has built that over decadesStories from the gym: balancing intensity with care, developing fighters responsibly, and lessons learned across 25+ years in MMAThe role of exploration and aliveness in training, and why “sloppy” doesn't always mean wrongWhy there are no shortcuts in adopting an ecological approach, and the pitfalls of surface-level buzzwordsHow Adam's philosophy challenges traditional pad-work, drill-heavy coaching, and emphasizes problem solving in context If you're a coach or practitioner interested in skill acquisition, practice design, and building adaptable athletes, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.If you like today's episode, leave a review here....If you want to reach me directly, contact me on social media or shoot me @javier@emergentmvmt.com.Referenced in this episode:SBG AthensEcological Dynamics in Sport Combat — Paper (ResearchGate link)EmergenceWatch full podcast episodes on YouTube → youtube.com/@thecoachjavEpisode Resources:CSAS CertificationAdam Singer on IG If you're a coach or practitioner interested in skill acquisition, practice design, and building adaptable athletes, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.Credits: Song- "Starstruck" by Freebeats.io Let's Chat!Twitter: @thecoachjavIG: @thecoachjav
Send us a textShawn Myszka (the “Movement Miyagi” ) returns to the pod to discuss the theme he and his NFL athletes embraced this offseason: Wu Xin, or “no-mindedness.” It's an idea that runs throughout skill acquisition — how athletes can free themselves from rigid intentions and better attune to the “what is” in front of them. From there, we dig into his new book, Enhancing Skill in American Football: Revolutionizing Practice Design for Transfer to Game Day, and the golden thread of movement behavior as problem solving. Along the way, we cover why Shawn calls it “partnering” with athletes instead of “owning” them, what Barry Sanders can teach us about adaptability, and some hot takes on the NFL Combine, traditional speed training, and preseason football.Episode ResourcesShawn Myszka's Book: Enhancing Skill in American Football: Revolutionizing Practice Design for Transfer to Game DayEmergence: emergentmvmt.comShawn Myszka Blog Post – Wu Xin: Turning Off the Mind to Solve More Problems on the FieldBarry Sanders NFL Top 100 Segment: Barry Sanders on “just reacting” (NFL Films)Ep 86 w/ ShawnCredits: Song- "Starstruck" by Freebeats.io Let's Chat!Twitter: @thecoachjavIG: @thecoachjav

Send us a textIn this episode, Javi sits down with Marianne Davies to explore a fascinating blend of topics, from adventure sports and ecological coaching to the power of language and learning. They dive into how language shapes perception, the unique relationship between teaching and learning, and the role of affordance perception in high-risk environments.Marianne shares her experiences in equestrian sports, adventure coaching, and expedition leadership, emphasizing how outdoor challenges can reshape the way we think, learn, and coach—not just in sports, but in life. They discuss the importance of exploration for both kids and adults, the evolving landscape of coach education, and why less structure in training could unlock greater potential in athletes.Key Topics Discussed:✅ How language serves as a constraint and shapes perception ✅ The Welsh concept of “dusky” and how it connects teaching and learning ✅ How adventure sports develop skill and decision-making under real consequences ✅ The unstructured nature of adventure sports vs. traditional coaching ✅ Why adults need adventure experiences just as much as kids ✅ The role of affordance perception and risk in skill acquisition ✅ The future of coach development and shifting from assessment-based coaching ✅ The power of movement and perception beyond traditional sportsResources & Mentions:

In the ever-evolving world of neurorehabilitation, Dr. Ryan Lovell, PT, DPT, NCS, ATP has carved out a unique path that blends his clinical expertise with a passion for research and storytelling simply through curiosity and exploration. As a physical therapist, doctoral student, and podcast host, Ryan's multifaceted career serves as an inspiring example of the diverse opportunities available within the neuro field. Ryan's journey began with a strong foundation in the medical field, influenced by his mother's work as a registered nurse. Drawn to the intersection of sports medicine and neurology, Ryan found his calling in physical therapy, particularly after a fortuitous opportunity to intern at Casa Colina Hospital. This experience ignited his interest in neurorehabilitation and set him on a course to pursue a neuro residency, specialized certifications, and eventually, PhD candidacy in Rehabilitation and Movement Science. As a researcher, Ryan has tackled intriguing questions, from exploring the use of transcranial stimulation devices for stroke and spinal cord injury rehabilitation to investigating clinical biomarkers in post-concussion syndrome. His work has highlighted the importance of bridging the gap between clinicians and product companies, ensuring that new technologies are not only safe but also truly beneficial for patients. Ryan's passion for storytelling has also found expression through his podcast, The Parallax Effect. Recognizing the power of narrative in making complex scientific concepts accessible, Ryan has used this platform to share diverse perspectives and foster meaningful dialogue within the neuro community. His ability to seamlessly blend his scientific expertise with creative flair serves as a testament to the value of interdisciplinary thinking. As Ryan continues to navigate the realms of research, teaching, and podcasting, his story serves as a reminder of the boundless opportunities that await those willing to embrace the intersection of science, technology, and storytelling. By bridging the gap between clinicians, researchers, and the broader community, Ryan Lovell's work exemplifies the transformative power of a multidimensional approach to neurorehabilitation.

Our summer-long 'Power of Play' series starts now with special guest Allie Ticktin. Allie's mission is to empower children and their families through sensory play so that they can thrive through childhood and beyond. Allie is the author of the book, Play to Progress, where she provides parents with an overview of all 8 (yes, 8) senses and gives parents ways to enhance those senses at home. Allie uses the science of child development and the joy of play to boost childrens' confidence and enhance development within all areas of their life, from social and emotional to physical and academic. Allie believes that the best way to support children is by arming their parents, from inception, with the knowledge and skills necessary to encourage their child's development for success through childhood and beyond. Allie began her work in pediatric development at the University of Michigan, where she earned her B.S. in Movement Science, and continued her studies at USC, where she received her M.A. and Clinical Doctorate in Occupational Therapy. Allie is certified in Sensory Integration and hopes that one day one day quality open ended play will be considered as important as learning the ABC's. When not at work, you can find Allie at the beach engaging her own sensory system, outside enjoying nature or on her spin bike. Allie also loves to bake vegan treats, read and color in mindfulness coloring books, which are her own regulation tools.
