The Bridging Impact Podcast is committed to sharing insightful wisdom from experienced coaches, sports psychologists, and athletic directors to transform athletes into leaders on and off the court.
Our guest this week is Alex Sarama, the founder of Transforming Basketball.
Transforming Basketball is a vehicle to share the independent research and practical applications that Alex Sarama has conducted since 2016. Transforming Basketball focuses on using ecological dynamics as a framework to view basketball performance and reconceptualize the role of the coach and basketball practitioner.
An ecological approach underpins the methodologies adopted by Transforming Basketball—the five design principles of a nonlinear pedagogy manifest in applying a constraints-led approach. Rather than viewing skills as techniques or patterns to be acquired and internalized, skill is viewed as an emergent property predicated around the relationship between the player and their environment.
Transforming Basketball exists to help the basketball world move beyond traditional paradigms that have existed for decades. Through many resources, including blogs, podcasts, online course-based learning, live events, and consulting, the basketball world can benefit from evidence-based ideas.
