The Five W's
What Works for Who in What Context and Why. An exploration of a biopsychosocial approach to athlete development, seeking to be a form of knowledge exchange to a wide variety of practitioners (e.g., academics, coaches, psychologists, S&C, sport scientists).Each episode offers a unique perspective on the subject from current athletes or coaches discussing their lived experience, former athletes and coaches reflecting upon their learning, and conceptual frameworks from academia.
