In this special New Year's Eve episode, I welcomed back Shawn Myszka and Tyler Yearby from Emergence to discuss a recent academic paper criticising ecological dynamics and many of researchers and practitioners working in the space. The article is called "Ecological Dynamics as an Accurate and Parsimonious Contributor to Applied Practice: A Critical Appraisal" by Dave Collins, Howie Carson, Par Rylander and Ray Bobrownicki. I invited Shawn and Tyler onto the show because I wanted them to be given an opportunity to address the callous misrepresentation in the direct driticism they made regarding Shawn and Tyler's work on Bruce Lee's alignment with ecological principles. The conversation evolved into a broader discussion about the future of ecological dynamics in coaching science and the emerging role of skill acquisition specialists in professional sports. Five Key PointsThe ecological community continues to grow, with practitioners across different fields finding value in applying these principles. It is interesting to note that Collins is authoring this criticism while at the same time promoting a book that embraces ideas from ecological dynamics. The paper misrepresented Shawn and Tyler's research about Bruce Lee, claiming they altered quotes to fit their argument when in fact they had been explicitly transparent about their modifications and reasoning.There's a fundamental misunderstanding about combining traditional and ecological approaches - you can't simply cherry-pick elements without considering the underlying theoretical foundations. Anyone who suggests that you can do this is either being dishonest or they don't understand the basic assumptions of the ecological theory. The role of skill acquisition specialists is becoming increasingly important in professional sports, with a growing recognition that these positions need to be fully integrated into organisational structures.You can pick and choose methods but you can't pick and choose thoeries. If one theory is directly opposed the the ideas of another theory - trying to suggest that you can mix the two together is just academic populism. Three Key Quotes "Don't throw stones at people that are not throwing stones back at you. I'm just trying to advance the field." - Tyler Yearby "You can't be a vegan and have the odd bacon sandwich... you can't have your theoretical cake and eat it." - Stuart Armstrong "It's just their cop-out way of not actually having these types of interactions and instead hiding behind the keyboard and maybe a research journal paywall... that shows the disingenuous nature of what they're doing." Shawn Myszka Note: This episode was recorded on New Year's Eve 2024 with Shawn Myszka and Dr. Tyler Yearby from EmergenceEmergence websiteShawn and Tyler's Article The ArticleBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-talent-equation-podcast--2186775/support.

The boys from emergence are back to discuss their recently accepted and published paper on  "Applying an ecological dynamics framework to mixed martial arts training".  This paper followed their previous publication from 2023 "(Re)conceptualizing movement behavior in sport as a problem-solving activity".Both of these papers were supported and co-authored by Professor Keith Davids himself a titan in the skill acquisition community and a pioneer of ecological dynamic. SBG's Adam Singer, The Academy's Andy Grahn and myself were also able to provide modest contributions by way of case studies that were included in the paper as practical examples of the application of an ecological approach at our prospective gyms. Tyler Yearby and Shawn Myszka plan on further investigation and future studies in the space of MMA from an ecological perspective.  Until then, check out the papers linked above and to access an absolute treasure trove of all things ecological, check out their website at Emergence.

Emergence founder, NFL skills coach and MMA superfan Shawn Myszka joined me to discuss Strickland's win over Adesanya last week.As stated during intro. Must of this analysis is somewhat speculative given we are not privy to the innerworkings of both fighter's camps, preparation and day to day training methodologies. 

Shawn Myszka is a Movement Skill Acquisition Coach for NFL players, having worked with numerous All-Pro and Pro Bowl team members. He is also the Founder of the Sport Movement Skill Conference and author of articles and educational materials on mastering movement in sports. Shawn discusses the relevance and value of Bruce Lee's coaching philosophy in movement skill acquisition for law enforcement, as explored in the research paper 'Being Water: how key ideas from the practice of Bruce Lee align with contemporary theorizing in movement skill acquisition' authored by Myszka, Yearby and Davids and published in Sport, Education and Society (2023).  Topics covered in this podcast are the ecological dynamics framework and its differences from traditional linear movement training in law enforcement, the importance of representativeness in learning design. As well as the background, art, style, coaching style, and philosophy of Bruce Lee. The concept of becoming “formless” is also mentioned and its relationship to current ecological dynamics pedagogy.  This interview contains practical insights on how law enforcement training officers should teach, specifically in terms of building emotional intelligence, increasing self-awareness, and fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement within law enforcement agencies. In addition, Listeners will gain practical insights on how law enforcement trainers can use Bruce Lee's philosophy and ecological dynamics to help their students acquire skillful movement, adapt to dynamic and unpredictable violent encounters, and become more efficient and powerful in their movements. Listeners interested in finding out more about the incredible services and training offered by Shawn and his colleagues as well as information on the highly anticipated 'Sport Movement Skill Conference' can get all the information at Emergence https://emergentmvmt.com/

Shawn and Tyler are the Co-director's of education at Emergence  and have also come  together to co-author a series of published articles, the first of which we discussed in episode 24. This time around, we discuss their new paper, which is centered around the teaching and philosophies of Bruce Lee. Their paper  is titled Being Water: How Key Ideas from the practice of Bruce Lee align with contemporary theorizing in movement skill acquisition.  It investigates how  we can apply Bruce's teachings, into modern day coaching. Whether you are a fan of Bruce Lee or not, there are SOOO many takeaways in this episode...enjoy!  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@igniteperformance.netInterested in taking your recovery and hydration to the next level?...Check out Ultrahuman supplements.   Ultrahuman is one of the few supplements I stand by.  Their products are as clean as it gets.  Our athletes have been using Amino Code for Years.NO Gluten,  NO  Artificial Flavors or Sweetner.  NO BS.Click my link  and enter in the code COACHJAV10 for 10% off of your order. Episode Resources:The Paper on Research GateShawn's twitter Tyler's twitter Emergence Website Credits: Song- "Starstruck" by Freebeats.io Let's Chat!Twitter: @thecoachjavIG: @thecoachjav

In this episode I am joined by Shawn Myszka and Tyler Yearby from Emergence to disuss their recent paper co-authored with Keith Davids entitled 'Being Water: how key ideas from the practice of Bruce Lee align with contemporary theorizing in movement skill acquisition'. We discuss his famous quote 'fear someone who has practiced one kick ten thousand times' and explore how he may have meant for us to adapt and be 'like water', rather than trying to perfect technique. We also touch on the philosophical boundaries of an ecological worldview, the concept of 'one-touch play' in soccer, Finally, we explore Bruce Lee's work and words, and how they are a testament to his ideas.Chapters:(0:05:59) - Exploring Bruce Lee's Movement(0:10:51) - 'Jeet Kune do' Origins and Meaning(0:24:56) - Adaptability and Ecology in Martial Arts(0:32:02) - Exploring the Principles of Ecological Dynamics(0:37:32) - Exploring Ecological Dynamics(0:51:20) - The Challenges of Evolving Ideas(1:00:36) - Bruce Lee's Influence on Movement(1:11:32) - Exploring Philosophical Boundaries Through Dialoguehttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/367319646_Being_Water_how_key_ideas_from_the_practice_of_Bruce_Lee_align_with_contemporary_theorizing_in_movement_skill_acquisition

Today, on the Run Culture Podcast I was incredibly fortunate to chat to Shawn Myszka. Adhering too tightly to an idealized model can hyper constrain one's ability to adapt to a dynamic world. Many runner's would benefit from having more 'exploration and play' in their practice. This can enhance the; variability, creativity, ownership, authenticity and adaptability of one's actions. Over the past 14 years Shawn has worked exclusively with over 100 NFL players as their; 'Movement Skill Acquisition Coach'. He runs an educational group called ‘Emergence' ( www.emergentmvmt.com) that produces fantastic courses and blogs about the complexities of learning motor skills. He is also known as 'The Movement Miyagi' on twitter. Thanks once again Shawn for an enlightening and enjoyable chat that many runners will benefit from listening to!

Welcome to the Athlete Blueprint Podcast!!...For today's episode, I'm joined by Shawn Myszka!Shawn  is the co director of education over at Emergence. Shawn  is also a personal Performance Advisor and Movement Skill Acquisition coach for NFL players and has been doing so since 2008. During that time and up to this point, he has partnered with five NFL All Pro athletes and twelve Pro Bowl team members. Shawn is also a two time guest on this podcast. Way back in Episode 24 when he appeared alongside Tyler Yearby when we discussed their paper Applying an Ecological Approach to Practice Design in American Football.  This particular conversation with Shawn really is all about storytelling . I was always curious to really what the origin story was of the Sport Movement Skill Conference. So for those of you who don't know what the Sport Movement Skill Conference is, it is really the keystone event for me when it comes to my education throughout the year. It really brings alongside theoreticians, practitioners, researchers, those who are practicing the science, and put some alongside those who are practicing the art of coaching, and really blended together unlike any other conference. We get into the origins of the SMSC and touch on the theme of this years conference.   In addition to that, we really get into Sean's own origin story, where he, as always, is open, authentic, transparent, and shares some of his struggles in transitioning from an ecological approach. Obviously, Shawn was one of the early adopters of this approach and it wasn't smooth, it wasn't easy, and I was really grateful that he shared and opened up on some of those trials and tribulations for us here. I think this episode has a ton of practical applications for many coaches. We learn some ups and downs that not just Shawn experience, but all of us experience.  The SMSC takes place November 4th and 5th.  I'll link to the conference and  the previous episode in the show note...Please enjoy!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@igniteperformance.netEpisode Resources:Link to Sport Movement Skill Conference Emergence Website Shawn's twitter Episode 24 w/ Shawn and Tyler 

This week on the Pacey Performance Podcast, Rob is speaking to Movement Skill Acquisition Coach at Emergence, Shawn Myszka. Shawn currently serves as a personal performance advisor and movement coach for more than a dozen NFL players. Coaching agility is much more than setting up cones and letting the athletes run routes around them. Agility is much more than just change of direction ability. But with so much complexity to improve the physical quality of "agility", how can we coach it effectively to ensure transfer to the field? In this episode, Shawn details his approach which dives into the world of ecological dynamics and a constraints led approach. He explains how his approach differs to a "traditional" approach of pre-planned movements and drilling them time after time. Shawn presents an example of a closed drill which aims to improve cutting and develops it into a much more open drill so the athlete has to react to a changing environment, much like they would have to do on game day. This is an excellent episode for anyone that wants to ensure their time spent on the field developing "agility" is actually transferring to the field. Talking points - • Typical NFL drills to improve agility and how they can be improved • Traditional approach versus an ecological approach to drill design • How to integrate a constraints led approach into agility training • Closed drills vs open drills • Problems with coaching to a fixed movement profile

In our first episode of this special bonus podcast series, Matt is joined by two very special guests, Shawn Myszka (@MovementMiyagi) & former NFL tight end & fullback, Rhett Ellison. In this episode Rhett & Shawn take us between the lines. Shawn & Rhett share their insights about their journey as coach & player. In addition, Rhett shares his insights on playing the tight end position, the skill set needed by the modern tight end and his experiences throughout his skill development journey in his career. Rare are the moments we are able to see through the eyes of a professional athlete - this is one of those moments.  Guest Information Shawn Myszka is the Co-Founder of Emergence - a coaching & skill aquisition education company. In addition, Shawn has worked as a Personal Performance Advisor & Movement Skill Acquisition Coach for National Football League (NFL) players since 2008, working with approximately 12 players each year. He partnered with 5 NFL All-Pro selections and 12 NFL Pro Bowl Team members. He is also the founder/host of the Sport Movement Skill Conference which will be celebrating its 5th of organization this November.   Rhett Ellison is a former American football tight end and fullback who played eight seasons in the National Football League (NFL).

I finally snagged the boys from Emergence to come and talk to me about MMA. I have been following Shawn Myszka AKA @movementmiyagi since coming across his youtube channel several years ago. Shawn is an NFL skill coach and movement consultant, co-founder of Emergentmvmt.com, regular podcast and skill conference presenter and co-author of the recently published paper "Applying an ecological approach to practice design in American Football". His biz partner Tyler Yearby also a co-author of the same article and is an educator and speaker on sport science and skill-development for American Football. Both Tyler and Shawn are regular guests on Rob Gray's Perception Action Podcast and are considered to be well informed and passionate advocates of the ecological approach to sport. They also somewhat uniquely straddle both the academic and on-field coaching spaces which arm them both with a deep theoretical and practical knowledge and understanding.Be sure to follow them both and stay tuned for their soon to be launched Patreon community which will be a fantastic resource and information sharing space for progressive coaches and sports academics alike. Should you wish to get in touch with either Shawn or Tyler, they are very receptive and helpful and best reached on twitter or at their website. (See names above for links).I was very grateful for their time and consider them coming on as another scalp, as this duo were on my original shortlist of wanted guests when I started the Podcast a few years back. 

In this special episode Matt is joined by Shawn Myszka (@MovementMiyagi) & Tyler Yearby (@TylerYearby). Shawn and Tyler are the Co-Directors of Education at the innovative movement skill education company known as Emergence (@EMERGENTMVMT or EmergentMvmt.com).

The 2020 Seminar Series returns to the Saturday2Sunday Football Podcast. This summer we explore Movement Marvels in the game of American Football. In our first episode, Matt is joined by Shawn Myszka (@MovementMiyagi) of Movement Mastery. Shawn is a performance advisor for NFL players, a sport movement specialist, an educator & presenter. Shawn is also the author of the very popular website entitled Football Beyond The Stats:Breaking Down On-Field Movement of the Game's Best. Shawn is also one of the founders of the inovative movement skill education company called Emergence.   In Part 1 of our Seminar Series we discuss the movement skill of two of the most exciting running backs in American Football - Hall Of Fame Inductee Barry Sanders of the Detroit Lions and the current rising Star of the New York Football Giants, Saquon Barkley. Matt and Shawn examine such questions as: How are Barry & Saquon similar? How are they different? What lessons can we learn as evaluators, scouts, analysts, trainers and coaches from their movement skill on the field? All of these questions and more are explored throughout this episode.

Be it in sports, fitness, trade skills, performance arts or just everyday life, the process of acquiring skill in movement is something that we all must go through. For decades now it seems like the most widely adopted method of motor learning has been to apply a reductionist mindset to skill acquisition.  The idea is to improve our movement by practicing isolated component skills with the hopes of perfecting patterns that can then be integrated back into the bigger picture task. For instance, if you wanted to get better at playing basketball you might individually practice free throws, three pointers, lay ups, etc… with the goal of having perfect form on every repetition. If you want to learn parkour, you might have an instructor give you detailed explanations of each vault: how to angle your hands, where to jump from, what each foot is doing at the beginning, middle and end of the vault, where your eyes are trained, your breathing, etc… The problem is that this approach doesn’t address the variability of context and constraint. In a real game of basketball, no two shots will be under the same conditions, and the number of possible conditions to shoot from is far too vast to practice each individually. Even further, this method is directly at odds with how humans actually develop motor skill because it tends to rely on the prefrontal cortex which is great for organizing propositional knowledge but ineffective for performing skillful, adaptive movement. Perhaps you’ve experienced “paralysis by analysis”: freezing up or being unable to act as a result of trying to mentally organize and process too many individual component actions.. As it turns out, it is far more effective to gain movement skill by engaging in tasks built around complex problem solving. It's fairly obvious if you think about it. As babies, we don’t learn to locomote because of our parents detailed instruction of contralateral crawling patterns.  We learn to crawl because we need to solve the problem of not being able to play with that interesting thing on the other side of the room. The process of solving that problem, and other problems like it, ingrains those movement solutions into us and before long we are solving new problems to reach things that are higher up which opens the doors to climbing and moving bipedally. So how do we apply this process of learning to our own movement practice, or even to the practice of elite level athletes? Well on today’s episode of the Evolve Move Play Podcast we’ve got Shawn Myszka joining us to talk about just that. His work has centered around using ecological dynamics to improve not just how top NFL players move, but how they utilize their capacities for attention and intention to become better problem solvers on the field. If you’ve been to one of our retreats, you’ve most likely heard us talk about how it’s not patterns that are important, but solutions. By training at the highest level of complexity possible to achieve our goals and implementing a task based constraint approach to learning, we can effectively tap into our innate motor learning systems and streamline the process of skill acquisition. We really enjoyed having Shawn on the show and hope to have him back soon. Let us know what you think in the comments below and don’t forget to like, share and subscribe!

This episodes guest is with another brother from another mother of mine - Shawn Myszka - aka. The Movement Miygai!! Shawn Myszka is the Pro Performance Director of Explosive Edge Athletics in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where he is entrusted with the personal consulting of countless NFL players who seek him out to take their performance to the limits of their potential. Shawn is a former National-level competitive bodybuilder who has become a sought-after clinician and leader in the field of sport-specific power development, the transfer of training to sport performance, and developing mastery in the movement of athletes at all levels of qualification. At the beginning of 2014, Shawn introduced a new brand into the industry, Movement Mastery, which has the purpose of helping training professionals of all kinds to more fully understand the process involved in attaining more optimal movement for athletes in all sporting disciplines. He also runs a football-specific movement blog, Football Beyond the Stats (www.footballbeyondthestats.wordpress.com), in which he breaks down the movement patterns & mechanics of the top performers in the sport plus offers insight regarding training principles for football performance. On this episode Shawn and I discuss: I ask Shawn how does his put his theory into practice and I ask Shawn about return to performance? Shawn talks about the need to present the learner with problems to solve  I ask Shawn - how can we measure skill acquisition/ learning I ask Shawn - how can athletes get enough practice at movement problem solving without increasing the mechanical load to a detrimental level  We discuss the importance representative learning, and how emotional regulation is a huge factor in movement affordances I ask Shawn for his thoughts on observational learning  I ask Shawn to discuss the importance of intention  I ask Shawn about the conscious vs subconscious learning in skill acquisition  Shawn discusses self-organization systems, synchronization, and attunement within team sports We discuss why exposing team players to different playing positions can be a great strategy to increasing skill acquisition and movement affordances  I ask Shawn about his 2019 Sport Movement Skill Conference  I ask Shawn what is he reading? I ask Shawn how does his learn? I ask Shawn who did he tip to win the Superbowl at the time we recorded this podcast    This was an outstanding episode and I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did!

I got together with friends of the show Ed Coughlan and Shawn Myszka to reflect on the recent movement and skill acquisition conferences that they ran on either side of the Atlantic. As you would expect, it was a great conversation that meandered all over the place as they guys tried to make sense of the various things that they took away from the events. I just sat back and enjoyed the ride...I hope you do too!!

Today’s podcast is a special roundtable episode on sport movement, featuring an expert panel of Shawn Myszka, Scott Salwasser and Michael Zweifel.  Each of these coaches has a unique area of application and insight into making athletes better at reacting to actual sport stimuli, making plays, and ultimately winning games. Shawn Myszka is a movement specialist working with many NFL athletes, and has a large background in physical preparation. Scott Salwasser is the director of speed and power at Texas Tech university and is making his third appearance on the Just Fly Performance Podcast.   Scott is not only a great linear speed coach, as we’ve seen through his talks and writing on the topic, but also is constantly pioneering sport-applicable movement training through his own athletes and interaction with other movement specialists in the field. Michael Zweifel, who has written some tremendous articles for Just Fly Sports in the past, is the owner of Building Better Athletes Performance, is an NCAA record holding wide receiver.   Michael is an industry leader in reactive training for athletes, particularly in the scholastic population, and where specialization is not possible. “Agility” is a word likely most used in marketing, and getting parents to buy in that a particular sports performance institution will make their child better at reacting in their sport, but this is rarely, if ever the case in the manner that the majority of these training interventions are implemented. For today’s podcast, we simply cover the ideas of what “agility” training really is, and best practices in creating training to allow athletes to become more reactive movers on the field of play. Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more. Key Points: Shawn, Scott and Michael’s backgrounds in the industry The value of teaching sport agility absent of sport stimuli Thoughts on non-specific agility stimuli such as colors and lights Anecdotes of what Shawn, Scott and Michael do in their practice Quotes “Sport is nothing but a problem solving activity where movements are use to produce the necessary solution” “For football, the biggest (agility) stimulus is other bodies; the stimulus that most of them are reacting with are other human beings, so you don’t need football specific plays to give them an authentic stimuli because a lot of times they are working against someone else and that is the primary stimulus” “How can this running back that runs a 4.4 40yd a 4.0 pro agility getting tackled in the backfield by opponents, it just doesn’t make sense; so it led me Shawn and the idea that (this athlete) is not a very good decision maker” “When you de-couple a movement or an action, so you take away the perception or intention from the movement outcome, you aren’t doing any good” “Most coaches are control freaks, and we know exactly what controlled drills are going to look like; more of an open environment intimidates a lot of coaches” “One things that I’ve gravitated towards is making the agility stimuli as human as possible; humans are free” “We perceive to act and we act to perceive” “The space and time relationship is our key performance indicator” “We know that situations are going to afford and invite and constrain certain (movement) patterns” “I am always going to get to the more specific representation of what athletes are going to see on the field (at the end of the day)” “With my cat and mouse drills, it’s not tag; football players will try and tag their opponent when they get within arms length, and that’s not going to result in you making the play” “My athletes need to be very comfortable being uncomfortable at all times” “Perfect practice is constant problem solving; we try to increase pressure and anxiety and perform movement actions under fatigue” ...

In this episode we will talk about of course movement and specifically why it is so critical for athletes today.

Shawn Myszka aka @movementmiyagi on Twitter is a human movement specialist that has been using the ecological approach to the development of elite NFL players for the past 5 years. In this honest and illuminating discussion Shawn shares his journey from being a "biomechanics junkie", largely driven by physiology and technique towards an approach that develops athletic abilities through the creation of scenarios which challenge the athlete's movement in relation to the activities if others. It's a fascinating journey...

Movement is the key to sport. As Vern always says, we need to train movements, not muscles. On this week's podcast we are joined by NFL strength coach Shawn Myszka to discuss motor learning, movement analysis, and improving movement through specific strength exercises. For more on this topic, read the complete show notes at: http://www.hmmrmedia.com/2016/02/hmmr-podcast-episode-35-movement-mastery-with-shawn-myszka This episode is brought to you by Train Heroic, the ultimate strength and conditioning platform with customizable programming, video, messaging and more for you and your team.

A replay of our live discussion on the topic skill acquisition in which we covered topics including: Early specialization vs diversification? Deliberate play vs deliberate practice? Are athletes born or made? What fundamental movement skills should a young athlete acquire? What advice would we give ourselves as young athletes if we could go back in time?   Articles/Links: Late specialization: the key to success in centimeters, grams, or seconds (cgs) sport Genomic predictors of trainability Fundamental Movement Skills Are More than Run, Throw and Catch: The Role of Stability Skills   More information: http://perceptionaction.com/ My Research Gate Page (pdfs of my articles) My ASU Web page Podcast Facebook page (videos, pics, etc)   Credits: The Flamin' Groovies - Shake Some Action The Dirtbombs – Get it While You Can The Greenhornes – Saying Goodbye via freemusicarchive.org and jamendo.com
