Randy O'Connor on Designing Through ConstraintsIn this episode of Experience Points, Dave Eng welcomes game designer, artist, and educator Randy O'Connor to explore the crucial role of constraints in game design and learning. From limited resources to time pressure, constraints shape player experiences and enhance engagement.

This week on The Burn Podcast, I'm thrilled to sit down with, Alexander Martin, in a great conversation that dives into transitions, relationships, and player engagement. Alexander shares his journey of unexpected opportunities that led him to impact student athlete development at the University of Miami and his role in player engagement. We discuss our mutual relationship with Kaleb Thornhill and the importance of intentional connections in our careers, especially within football.Alexander emphasizes the crucial role of preparing players for life beyond the field, and his insights into handling transitions and building strong bonds with players offer invaluable lessons. We explore how his dedication to showing up for others without expecting anything in return has left a lasting influence, and how this principle is essential in finding fulfillment and purpose in life.We also touch on the cultural shift in the Miami Dolphins, driven by Coach McDaniel and the unique mix of rookie energy and veteran wisdom, highlighting the contributions of players like Alec Ingold to the team's positive environment.I'm incredibly grateful for Alexander's openness and the wisdom he brings, and I'm confident you'll find inspiration in his approach to life and career.

The 2024 Player Development Conference will be one month away on April 16th! YES, ONE MONTH! Get YOUR Tickets: https://www.btfprogram.com/pdconference Today I am fortunate to announce Alexander Martin, Director of Player Engagement for the Miami Dolphins, will be speaking at the Player Development Conference. Alex is well known around the industry as being one of the biggest advocates for those who are starting to work in sports or are young professionals. He uses his LinkedIn profile to repost sports jobs consistently. His session is titled: Avoiding the Internship Olympics: When full-time preparation meets full-time opportunity. His session information: Player development exists at both the collegiate and professional levels. As enticing as the professional level seems however, full-time positions are rarely available. Instead, a lot of pro sports teams offer internships and other “seasonal” roles to help maintain efficiency and continuity across the building. Many are taking on multiple seasonal roles and internships year-after-year hoping to land a full time role with a professional team, not realizing they may be sacrificing full-time experience in the process. This session will help future player development professionals avoid taking on multiple internships, help learn how to land a full-time role in player development, and assist in their growth as a player development professional. Today on The Player Development Pod we re-visit one of the most listened to podcast episodes. This episode was recorded in 2022.
