Episode 4
Information processing and PET
I’m continuing my discussion with the former National Coach and Director of Coaching for Snowsport England, John Shedden.
In this episode I am talking with John about his university study where he explored his interest in psychology and information processing, leading him to develop a new model of motor skill development, still in use today. We also discuss the sensory information needed at different stages of skill development and two PET models used in ski coaching.
Members of the Snowsport England Coaching Scheme also receive a supporting article written by John.
These recordings are about the art, science and history of snowsport coaching. As a coach educator for the national governing body Snowsport England, I wanted to create resources that supports their mission of inspiring participation in snow sport at every level.
