We are not machines. Humans are complex, non-linear neurobological systems that demonstrate emergent order, and as such our way of learning is not machine-like. And therefore our ways of teaching and coaching should be based on how humans best learn.
We utilise a constrained-cognitive pedagogy – a method which integates optimal practice with non-linear dynamic systems in nature to promote self-organising processes inherent in human beings as movers, athletes and individuals. We do not believe in imposing arbitrary movement patterns. Good coaching places the learner at the very centre of the process.
