Motor Learning & Sport Pedagogy with Brian McCormick

Mark | Apr 13, 2016 min read

A series of short conversations with Brian McCormick that we originally recorded in late 2015 for his course CPSY 4710: Motor Learning & Sport Pedagogy in the M.A. in Sports Coaching program at University of Denver.

Brian has made an enormous contribution to basketball (and other sports/coaches I’m sure) through his coaching roles across the globe, books, research, and online sharing and sensemaking over two decades.

It is always a pleasure speaking and collaborating with Brian, and I look forward to more opportunities to do so in the future.
