Welcome to the Athlete Blueprint Podcast!!...For today's episode, I'm joined by Shawn Myszka!
Shawn is the co director of education over at Emergence. Shawn is also a personal Performance Advisor and Movement Skill Acquisition coach for NFL players and has been doing so since 2008. During that time and up to this point, he has partnered with five NFL All Pro athletes and twelve Pro Bowl team members.
Shawn is also a two time guest on this podcast. Way back in Episode 24 when he appeared alongside Tyler Yearby when we discussed their paper Applying an Ecological Approach to Practice Design in American Football.
This particular conversation with Shawn really is all about storytelling . I was always curious to really what the origin story was of the Sport Movement Skill Conference.
So for those of you who don't know what the Sport Movement Skill Conference is, it is really the keystone event for me when it comes to my education throughout the year. It really brings alongside theoreticians, practitioners, researchers, those who are practicing the science, and put some alongside those who are practicing the art of coaching, and really blended together unlike any other conference.
We get into the origins of the SMSC and touch on the theme of this years conference. In addition to that, we really get into Sean's own origin story, where he, as always, is open, authentic, transparent, and shares some of his struggles in transitioning from an ecological approach.
Obviously, Shawn was one of the early adopters of this approach and it wasn't smooth, it wasn't easy, and I was really grateful that he shared and opened up on some of those trials and tribulations for us here. I think this episode has a ton of practical applications for many coaches. We learn some ups and downs that not just Shawn experience, but all of us experience.
The SMSC takes place November 4th and 5th. I'll link to the conference and the previous episode in the show note...Please enjoy!
