Authors Matthew Mitchell, Flynn Pervan, Josiah Lulham and Will Arpke-Wales discuss the article, "Playing with Social Theory: Creative and Reflexive Methods for Teaching and Practice," published in the April 2025 issue of Teaching Sociology.  

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, Rob speaks to Anthony Donskov about reflexive eccentrics. Reflexive eccentric training is gaining recognition for its role in improving athletic performance and reducing injury risk. In this episode, Anthony  breaks down the principles, programming, and practical applications of this training method, emphasizing the importance of stiffness, speed, and strategic progressions in athlete development. Anthony discusses how reflexive eccentrics involve rapid eccentric contractions that enhance force absorption and control. This method is especially relevant for high-level athletes, as it trains deceleration, stability, and explosive reacceleration—all key for sports like hockey. He highlights the importance of clear external cues, such as “grabbing the floor” or “being stiff,” to help athletes optimize landing mechanics and movement efficiency. The conversation also covers programming considerations, including off-season vs. in-season adaptations, how to balance heavy lifting with reflexive movements, and reducing muscle soreness while maximizing explosiveness. Anthony outlines a three-day cycle of training that incorporates heavy lifts, submaximal speed work, and strategic plyometrics. He stresses the need for individualized assessments, using player cards and radar graphs to track progress and adjust training accordingly. Despite the challenges in measuring reflexive eccentric adaptations, improvements in jump height, net impulse, and rate of force development suggest their effectiveness. He concludes by emphasizing the importance of structured strength, recovery, and flexibility in athlete programming, advocating for tissue remodeling and long-duration isometrics to reduce stiffness and chronic injury risk. This episode is packed with practical insights for coaches and practitioners looking to integrate reflexive eccentrics into their performance programs. Main talking points: • Reflexive eccentrics enhance speed, stiffness, and reacceleration • Rapid eccentric contractions improve force absorption and control • Training should be tailored to athlete experience levels • Clear external cues optimize movement efficiency and stiffness • Off-season training should focus on stiffness and strength • A three-day cycle balances heavy lifts and speed work • Reflexive eccentrics reduce muscle soreness and improve explosiveness • Tissue remodeling and isometrics help prevent chronic injuries

Dr. Heather Hawk and Michael Coriasco describe an innovative guided learning activity they developed in which students used a chatbot to answer a clinical question. An analysis of student reflections demonstrated 4 themes: surprisingly familiar, the importance of critical thinking and external validation, a good summary but lacking depth and nuance, and cautious optimism. Two subthemes were also identified: validation is time-consuming and a new perspective. Learning activities using AI influence students' knowledge and attitudes and instill critical awareness of the advantages and limitations of this technology. Learn more about this learning activity and study findings in their article.

Today's podcast features Flynn Disney. Flynn is a parkour athlete and human performance coach known for integrating mind, body, and environment in movement training. Flynn combines his history as an athlete with an intensive study of human psychology and experience training animals to provide a unique and insightful perspective on training. All too often, training is thought of on the level of machine-like qualities. Sets, reps, drills, and coaching cues. Rarely do we consider those processes by which children and animals learn, or how the consideration of the total human can change the process by which we coach. Much of this also involves looking at what makes animals and humans both similar and unique, in their movement strength, and abilities. On today's show, Flynn digs into the key differences between animals and humans from a perspective of reflexes and internal wiring, the role of reflexes in training, and examples in plyometric, running, and dynamic “spinal-engine” activities (and the value of “the worm” breakdance move, from an athletic perspective). He talks about the role of attentional networks, and training implications, the impact of risk on our reflex loops in training, and more.

Based in London, his mastery of parkour fundamentals, coupled with a deep understanding of biomechanics, has made him a sought-after coach in the movement training community. As a coach, Flynn emphasizes an approach the integrates mind and body, helping athletes of all levels break through physical and psychological barriers. Flynn also contributes to the sport through workshops and content that promote parkour as a tool for developing adaptable and well-rounded athletes.

The opinions expressed by guests are their own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of or endorsement by the Information Professionals Association. During this episode, Dr. Randy Rosin returns to the Cognitive Crucible to discuss the “trippy” topic of reflexive control. Soviet influence practitioners favor an indirect approach. Reflexive control is the process of conveying the basis of decision-making from one person to another. Research Question: Randy Rosin suggests an interested student examine: How can reflexive processes be applied in the creation of strategies to obtain desirable results in scenarios of either conflict, competition, or cooperation?

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 138 George Soros has a theory of change, and his goal is to make and move history. That theory of change is easy to understand if we take the time. It is also explicitly dialectical and alchemical. For Soros, society moves "historically" during times of chaos when people are searching for guideposts for what the future will bring, and it proceeds through change by "fertile fallacies," which are the seeds of what has elsewhere been called mass-formation psychosis. That is, feedback loops based on consequential errors change history. If you want to change history, then, it's simple. First, plunge society into chaos (say, by funding lots of things that destabilize communities). In the meantime, build "reflexive" potential so that the people driven into chaos work in ways favorable to your agendas. Then, when chaos ignites, place strategic "guideposts" that lead the desperate people to make exactly the kinds of mistakes that take them where you want them to go. In this important episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes on George Soros and his dialectical alchemy of "reflexivity" through Soros's own words as printed in The Alchemy of Finance (https://amzn.to/4adNsNv) and elsewhere.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 79 A magic word for Woke Marxists and their shrewd handlers is "reflexivity." Reflexivity is the energy that makes revolutions go. Most of us, since we're not wizards who want to manipulate society to our own ends, don't think in reflexive terms, and so we not only fail to recognize the use of reflexive political warfare tactics against us, we also tend to fall for them. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay introduces the concept of reflexivity. Join him to learn to recognize the building of reflexive potential, the explosion into a reflexive environment, and what you can do about it.

With a lack of affirmative leadership on the Right, and so much GOP failure on foreign policy, many on the Right are reflexively sounding like Code Pink leftists in order to avoid the fraught nature of neoconservatism. But today I lay out a third path that is truly America first, doesn't embroil us in other people's battles, but still recognizes and prepares for true evil. Too many on the Right think that every war is the result of Western oligarch corruption (like we see in Ukraine) but fail to recognize that Islamic jihad is real and it's evil to the core. I also lay out the just war theory as applied to Gaza and how Israel has no choice but to either destroy it or demand that the global powers help transfer its people to other lands. Either way, we need not involve ourselves militarily in their affairs and should instead focus on ensuring we don't develop the same security problems.  Learn more about your ad choices.

If you're learning Spanish, you probably find grammar challenging--especially when it comes to the dozens of verb conjugations. In this episode, you'll learn why most Spanish learners mix up indirect objects with reflexive verbs and other verb conjugations (and why this can be a problem) We'll take a look at examples in the lyrics of the song Casi Te Envidio by Puerto Rican

Email: liamconnerly@gmail.com There are four important rules to remember in this chapter:  (1) reflexives reflect the subject;  (2) reflexive forms must match the subject in person and number;  (3) English -self or -selves forms can refer to action which either affects oneself, in which case they're reflexive, or is done in person in which case they're intensive;  (4) English intensives tend to follow directly what they refer to; English reflexives, as a rule, never do.  Reflexive Pronouns.  Reflexive pronouns are pronouns that refer back to the subject… Let's just say English overmarks these forms. For instance, we say “I praise myself.” Think about it for a second. You don't have to say “-self.” You can just say “I praise me,” and it means the same thing. So we overmark the reflexive by saying “myself,” when we could just say “me.” In the same way we say “You praise yourself,” you could simply say “You praise you,” and it would mean the same thing…………….. Only in the third person is the “-self” form actually required! When you think about it, in any sentence and context it is clear who “I” or “you” is, but it is not always clear who “he” is. That's because there can be two different “he's” being referred to, but you and I always know who we are when we're speaking with each other.  So unlike “me” and “myself” or “you” and “yourself,” “him” and “himself” have to be differentiated, for instance, “He praises him,” meaning “The poet praises the king.” Here the “him” is non-reflexive because it is not the poet praising himself. To make the sentence reflexive, you change “him” to “himself” and you change the thought of the sentence entirely. “He praises himself” means the poet is praising the poet, not the king. The same is true of the third person plural, for example, “They praise them,” meaning “The poets are praising the kings.” There “them” is non-reflexive, but “They praise themselves” (“The poets are praising the poets”), there “themselves” is reflexive. Where English overmarks reflexives, Latin does not. There's my long-winded explanation to further my cause in eradicating  Therefore, if reflexive pronouns reflect the subject, they can be in any of the following cases:   the genitive: “He longed for praise of himself.”   the dative: “We gave a gift to ourselves.”   the accusative: "You love yourself too much.”   and the ablative: “They can see good in themselves.”  The intensive pronoun is more complicated, and unnecessarily so, than Latin. (Ha!) English intensive pronouns use the same form as their reflexive counterparts ─ “himself,” “herself,” “itself” and so on ─ which means in English you can't look at a pronoun that's intensive or reflexive and tell which one it is, based only on the appearance of its form.  Consider the following: “He himself went to the forum.” What does “himself” mean here? Think about it. It means he went there in person. He didn't send one of his slaves or one of his friends. He went there and did his business on his own. As opposed to “He went to the forum and bought food for himself.” Here “himself” is reflexive because it refers back to “he,” the subject. In other words, he did it in his own behalf.  Now consider this sentence: “You yourself praised yourself.”  The first “yourself” is intensive. “You yourself” means you did it in person.  The second “yourself” is reflexive.  “Praised yourself” means the action of praising was brought back on “you,” the subject. Note: that in English the intensive and reflexive pronoun forms are the same. They're both “yourself.” 

(9/27/23) The past 8-sessions have been brutal, but normal within the context of a need for a 5 to 10% correction. This seasonal pattern of Summer weakness will present the potential for a rally in the 4th quarter. The markets are over-sold, which could foretell a reflexive rally. Remember, this market is essentially still being led by seven stocks, and is up a little over 11% for the year as a result...but a look at the equal-weight index reveals markets are essentially flat for the year.

In this podcast episode, I delve deeper into the lessons learned during my personal journey of back surgery and recovery. Building on the insights shared in the previous episodes, I focus on the crucial concept of reflexive core stability.I begin by highlighting the misconception that reflexive core control is solely associated with specific exercises, such as chops and lifts. Instead, I shed light on the role of reflexive stability and the fascinating ways our bodies instinctively activate core control.Delving into the definition of stability, as outlined by Punjabi, I explore the factors that contribute to stiffness within the musculoskeletal and fascial systems. I discuss the role of neurological stiffness, particularly its connection to hypermobility and the body's protective response. By understanding the purpose of neurological stiffness, we can approach it with caution, avoiding attempts to break it without addressing the underlying causes.Moving on, I discuss two other forms of stiffness: muscular stiffness and physiological stiffness. Muscular stiffness stems from conscious muscle contractions, such as bracing, while physiological stiffness arises from hypertrophy and the pressure-container effect within the fascia. I highlight the significance of hypertrophied muscles in creating stiffness and the relationship between load, strength, and reflexive stiffness.I further explore the hydraulic amplifier effect, which occurs through intra-abdominal pressure and dynamic alignment of fascial containers. Understanding weight shifts and their impact on maintaining dynamic alignment becomes crucial in harnessing the hydraulic amplifier effect. By incorporating active sensory systems, such as active head and neck movements, active hands, and an awareness of three-dimensional breath, we can tap into reflexive stiffness and optimal core stability.Throughout the episode, I emphasize the importance of finding the right balance of load and resistance in order to connect with and optimize reflexive stiffness. Drawing from my personal experience, I challenge the fear of lifting heavy weights, as it can be instrumental in activating the stabilizers and achieving reflexive core control.Join me on this enlightening episode as we unravel the secrets of reflexive core stability and uncover the transformative power of understanding and harnessing our body's innate abilities for optimal movement and spinal health.Considering the viscera as a source of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is a great way to ensure a more true whole body approach to care, however it can be a bit overwhelming on where to start, which is exactly why I created the Visceral Referral Cheat Sheet.

Spanish reflexive pronouns are tricky, and they have many different uses! Let's learn how to use se, me, te, and nos, especially when they turn Ir (“to go”) into Irse (“to leave”).  

When it comes to our health and wellness, we often focus on factors such as diet and exercise routines, as well as our mental and emotional states. However, one crucial aspect that is often overlooked is our heart rate variability (HRV). This simple yet powerful metric measures the variation in time between each heartbeat, providing valuable insights into our stress levels and overall health.  In today's episode of the WELLPOWER Podcast, we are joined by Dr. Jay T. Wiles, the chief scientific officer of Hanu Health, about his background in clinical psychology and how his work with HRV has led to the development of a unique wearable device. This device can help individuals better manage stress and maintain optimal nervous system function. Dr. Wiles will share his expertise on the subject, and you will learn more about the fascinating world of HRV.  So, let's dive in and discover how HRV can transform the way we approach our health and wellness!

"N'ayez pas peur." And the formal lessons continue into the wilderness and beauty of the French language. Or should I say langue française. And yep, we have just dove into to learning the imperatif form, and as the command directs above in French - Have no fear! Which is a great place to start because when we choose to learn a new language, especially as an adult, and anyone proficient in any field other than the French language, humility must be brought with us on the journey. To trip over any new language we wish to learn, or any new skill for that matter, is a practice in being vulnerable, and being vulnerable is scary. It's scary to try to form the words and say them outloud, even if we have practiced and know the alphabet of our new language. It is scary to bravely raise our hand and attempt to answer a question when we know the answer may be a direct and frank 'no' from the professor. And it is scary to keep raising our hand, to keep speaking the new language, after we have mispronounced and incorrectly answered in the past which is why, it is imperative to hold this directive with us as we choose to learn - Have no fear. After all, what is there to be afraid of really? This is when we need to set our ego aside, take the many (many!) corrections from the professor and just keep trying, just keep speaking and gradually, ever so very gradually, improvements and a depth of understanding as our long-term memory begins to hold this new language in its arsenal of knowledge it draws upon when we least expect it to be easy to grasp, the new language becomes easier. I write the words of encouragement for you, readers and listeners of the blog and podcast as much as I write them for myself because it is a slow journey, but all of a sudden, I will find myself in moments grasping and understanding what to say and how to say it when in the past such an occurrence would never happen. And it is in these moments, I know that the regular effort, vulnerability and bravery (and mental exhaustion) are worth it and are paying off. Today, we return to the series of what I have learned so far in French class. A journey that began in 2016 as I shared in Part Quatre just a couple of months ago (visit that post/episode #349 here) and is continuing as I begin FR 104 (A2.2) with Washington D.C. Alliance de Française having begun with them FR 101 in September 2022. Part Quatre brought us to the mid-way point of FR 102, so today's episode will focus on what I have learned as FR 102 concluded and all of FR 103 which wrapped up in mid-April. Admittedly, FR 103 is when I felt I was in brand new territory as up to 102 I had a clear awareness of present tense, the numbers, basic 'get to know you' phrases, and had been exposed to the components taught, but needed to polish them as well as fill in a few of the fundament gaps (proper pronunciation of the alphabet for example!). So now I am in the thick of new knowledge, and my head is exhausted each week, following each day of classes (two, two hour classes each week). However, well, I am getting ahead of myself. Let's take a look at the list of what I have learned so far in French class . . . 1.The mental exhaustion improves with time As I shared above, when FR 103 began, with a new professor who has high expectations and uses every minute of class, after each week and each class, my mind was exhausted; however, that was the worst of it. In other words, my mind was working in a way it had not, and therefore, had to 'get into shape' by being stretched. Now, yes, I still have mental fatigue, but part of me is used it, but the other part of me knows, my mind as it pertains to learning the French language, is getting better toned and used to searching, remembering and applying the new knowledge. All the more reason to hang in there and keep attending class, keeping signing up for the next class. 2. Être, Avoir, Savoir, & Vouloir are the only verbs that are irregular in the imperatif As hinted at above in the opening quote, we've begun learning the form and function of the imperatif! And it is really quite simple, especially when I discovered (and it makes sense logically) that there are only ever three forms of the imperatif for conjugation (tu, nous, and vous), and so long as you know your Present tense forms, and memorize the four new irregular forms of être (to be), avoir (to have), savoir (to know) and vouloir (to want), you know how to properly use/write/speak the imperatif! What is the imperatif? The exact same thing imperative is in the English language, a command or direction given with an understood subject (so the sentence begins with the verb). 3. How to communicate time properly (formally and informally) A simple concept, but knowing how to form a sentence when asked the time is slightly different compared to English, but it is quite simple. The key is to remember to once you begin speaking the time formally (military time) to continue to do so - only numbers, no phrases; and when you speak heure informelle, then you can use the common phrases - midi (noon), minuit (midnight), moins le quart (less than a quarter - 15 minutes), et demi (half past), etc. 4. What "liaision" and "enchaînement" are as they pertain pronunciation in the French language Large, odd words, but all they are, and they are very important if we want to pronounce the language correctly, is how the sound of the word changes due to the words around it. Enchaînement: What is affected? Words that begin with "h" or a vowel. How is the pronunciation changed? If the word that precedes the word that begins with the 'h' or a vowel ends in a consonant sound, then the speaker must combine the words and drop the last consonant sound of the first word, combining the sounds into one. EXAMPLE: neuf heures —alone, you would pronounce 'neuf' as [nuf], pronouncing the 'f' sound; but when the word 'heures' follows as it begins with an 'h' or a vowel, you drop the 'f' sound and pronounce neuf as [neuv] leading into 'heures'. Liaison: What is affected? words that end with a vowel sound and the next word begins with a vowel or 'h' How is the pronunciation changed? Pronounce the consonant of the first word that previously was not pronounced. EXAMPLE: trois heures — alone, you would pronounce 'trois' as [twah], not pronouncing the 's'; but when the word 'heures' follows, the 's' is pronounced and is pronounced as a [zzz] sound. 5. How to construct passé composé Finally learning the past tense (aka the passé composé) was a big step in my learning journey of the French language. And it is soooooo much simpler than I had anticipated. While I won't teach the entire lesson to you, the key is knowing that every single conjugated verb will be preceded by either être (conjugated to fit the form) or avoir (conjugated to fit the form), and there are only approximately 15 verbs that use être (simply memorize them), and the reset all use avoir. Below are the fifteen verbs that use être, and how I remember them is they are all verbs in which they describe a change of state or motion. Now do note, not EVERY verb that involves motion or a change of state uses être, but all of these in this list fit that definition. entre (to enter) sortir (to exit, go out) monter (to go up/to climb) descendre (to descent) passer (to go/to go pass) rester (to remain/to stay) retourner/tourner (to return) tomber (to fall out/to fall) arriver (to arriver/to reach) partir (to leave/to depart) aller (to go) venir/revenir/devenir (to come/to come back/to become) naitre (to be born) mourir (to die) Extra one: déceder (to be deceased) And then, the verb that follows has a fixed ending for all forms (je, tu, il, elle, on, vous, nous, ils/elles, which comes down to memorizing, but most, if they have a certain ending in the infinitive form (i.e. -er, -ir, etc.) end in the same ending for that form. For example, my list captured in the image below: 6. Passé composé is easier than I thought and gives me so much flexibility in constructing phrases It is worth reiterating that again, what I thought prior to learning was incorrect. I just needed to be taught by someone who knew the language. Once I had the knowledge, great progress in communicating was made and ease experienced knowing I could share what I had done in conversation, whatever that may be! 7. Positive encouragement and praise are wonderfully powerful no matter what the student's age It has been a fascinating experience being a teacher who taught for 20 years and stepping into someone else's classroom who is the expert on a basic subject - the fundamentals of a language. Apart of the skills they are teaching and I am trying to learn, the energy and connection a teacher brings to the space determines the probability of their students remaining in the class, believing they can do it and the confidence to try. As well, a teacher is a human being, and it is easier to notice when my professor is exhibiting an immense amount of patience, restraint and strength to keep us accountable, so I empathize and try to be aware that she will have good days and not so good days, but what I appreciate about my current professor is that she wastes not one minute of our class time, and is determined to teach us the language. There are moments when it is clear that teaching a lower-skilled class to students such as myself and being someone who knows the French language superbly as my professor does, gets to be a bit 'why don't you know this?!' at times, and whether through their repetition of the skills we are just being introduced to, her patience is a bit lacking and I know that for my confidence in learning the language, I could use a bit more acknowledgement of my effort and willingness to try to speak out or try to speak. However, in those moments, it is also a very helpful exercise for myself to set my ego aside and dig down and choose to learn than to take it personal. After all, I can honestly say, she is the best and most knowledgeable and capable of explaining the language clearly professor that I have had in my 20+ years of trying to finally learn this beloved language, and I am grateful these classes and the quality of classes are available. 8. Le Passé Recent While we just received a taste of how to construct the recent past (le passé recent), so anything that has just happened, seeing the formula for how to construct the phrases, knowing that all it is is the simple formula: use the verb Venir (to come) in the present tense + de + le verb de l'action a1 l'infinitif form, reminds me that I simply need to bulk up my knowledge of vocabulary with a variety of verbs I might need or use. 9. Hearing the language spoken first without the transcript is key to eventually (and more quickly) comprehending what you are hearing, even if it is more uncomfortable initially When FR 103 began with my new professor, she quickly told us (gently scolding us) to not look at the transcript when we were listening to passages that we were trying to decipher what was being said. I can remember in FR 101 being so perplexed that other students were able to easily understand what was being said on the first go-round and even stating my confusion in class, but what I didn't realize was that they were reading the transcript as they listened and the professor had not told them not to, so why not? Not the case in FR 103. Our professor - Olga, pointed out emphatically that if we are going to understand what we are hearing more quickly, we need to first hear it (without peeking at the transcript), struggle with what we hear, and similarly to the mental fatigue that is intense initially, it become easier more quickly than we might realize. Needless to say, lesson learned. Nobody is looking at the transcripts anymore and struggle with audio comprehension is expected, so long as we try. 10. Just 10 minutes a day of studying, everyday, is better than hours sporadically Another quick tip Olga shared with us was to make sure we practice or study at least 10 minutes each day on the days we don't need to complete any homework or in between class sessions - our two week breaks, for example. As opposed to studying intensively for a couple of hours, but not doing so regularly, we will actually acquire the language more quickly through consistent, short efforts. 11. Phrases for moving a story along chronologically d'abord (first) en suite (further then) puis (then) après (after) en fin (finally) 12. Vocabulary for frequencies of occurrence (la fréquence) et l'habitude jamais (never) parfois (sometimes) souvent (often) toujours (always) tôt (early) en retard (late) d'habitude (normally) en général (generally) chaque (each) 13. Reflexive verbs aren't as scary as they seem FR 103 began with reflexive verbs. A verb whose direct object is the same as its subject. For example, se lèver (to wake up); se doucher (to take a shower/wash oneself); se brosse les dents (to brush one's teeth); se coucher (to go to bed); se preparer (to prepare oneself). Once I learned where the reflexive pronoun (me, te, se, etc.) needed to go in the formation of the sentence, and in negated sentences, it was just a matter of remembering the reflexive verbs. Simply by writing out these lessons has been helpful to remember all that was covered over the past two+ months, and now the journey continues forward. And while of course, there is guaranteed to be times in which I scrunch my forehead up and scream inside because it isn't coming quickly or at all, I also know that at the end of each class, I am grateful I am there. I am proud of myself for trying, and over-archingly I am following the directive seen below in the imperatif form, to have fun. Because if there is any class I would want to be enrolled in right now to learn something new, it is the French language, so I know I am exactly where I want (and need) to be. "Faites-vous plaisir."
