What happens when a zoo tiger is dropped into the wild? It doesn’t survive. In this episode, we explore why the same principle applies to athletes: If games are the jungle, training must prepare you for it. I share a conversation with a college wrestling coach about blending mental and physical training, the “knobs” coaches can turn to create adaptable players, and why desirable difficulties and contextual interference matter for developing better performers.
