Amy Price is a football coach that is fascinated by games. She lectures on coaching at St Mary's University and is studying for a PhD on the topic of the application of the learning principles associated with video games as applied to sport.

This conversation really got me thinking...we discovered that we were both using games in our coaching but we were coming from very different theoretical perspectives. It was really interesting and you will hear us both struggling to come to terms with it.

In this episode you will hear us exploring:

- Using a 'sandbox' to eliminate risk
- Using a 'fishtank' to develop technique
- Why games promote learning by providing meaning
- The 4 C's of mission based learning
- Why the whole concept of 'ball mastery' is missing a trick

Enjoy!!
