This episode kicks a hole in the idea that better performance comes from better instructions. Using Ian's recent golf putting experience, the conversation shows how real learning happens when you change the task, not the technique. By manipulating targets, space, and environment, skill starts to emerge naturally without the coach standing over the athlete narrating every movement.

Enjoy!
