Play with purpose as deliberate practice for sport coaching

This year I have had a lot of oppportunities to talk with sport clubs from grassroots community to semi-professional and professional levels and during sport coach education days (like level 2 coaching courses) about the idea of Play with Purpose to develop player game sense through a game-based coaching approach.

This presentation from a session with a lacrosse club gives a good summary of what I talk about and demonstrate in these coach education sessions. 

In 2024, I am hopeful of undertaking an empirical study of Play with Purpose with a sport club. I anticipate being able to advertise for interest in that opportunity in February. Let me know if this interests you or your club or school sport program to be involved and you want to have a chat by emailing shane.pill@flinders.edu.au.
