James Stafford has a strong interest in how information guides movement. Questions like how can we judge a gap between cars when crossing a road and how does a cricketer successfully intercept a ball travelling at 90 mph led him to working with Professor Cathy Craig on a PhD at the Movement Innovation Lab at Queen's University Belfast.

James wrote a fascinating thread on Twitter about the Australian cricketer, Steve Smith and the way he has developed a method of batting that is explained through ecological principles. https://twitter.com/JamesStafford94/status/1169619675656916992?s=20 that is well worth a read.

We discuss this in this episode as well as a range of sports including the fascinating work he is doing using VR to develop goalkeeping ability by improving a goalkeeper's ability to perceive ball flights.

It's a really fascinating conversation...I hope you enjoy
