The intro in Mind&Movement: In this weeks Mind and Movement Podcast we welcome our Guest Dr Wolfgang Schollhorn who is a former athlete in numerous sports/disciplines who has been coaching in various sports and now lectures at the University of Mainz (Germany). Wolfgang created a learning methodology called Differential Learning which looks into small variations in practice leading to produce more adaptable solutions for athletes. Now for Coaches this is concept a game changer, quite commonly people want repetition of the same movement over and over to create ‚Muscle Memory‘ (Muscles don’t have memory), Differential Learning allows the learner to become more adaptable, no pitch, or pass is exactly the same, in this episode we begin to look into Wolfgangs Coaching Journey and over the course of two episodes you will learn about Motor Learning, why Differential Learning is such an invaluable learning tool and the effect it has upon the brain of the learner.
Erst die Technik, dann das Spiel? Ist Tennis ein Spiel, dass man sofort spielen kann? Was ist die Aufgabe des Coaches? Was sagt die Wissenschaft über motorisches Lernen in den Rückschlagspielen?
Die sozialen Medien sind voll von Videos mit Tipps zum Tennistraining. Dabei sind bekannte und weniger bekannte Coaches. Von Patrick Mouratoglou bis Heinz aus Erkenschwick (in der Regel sind es Männer). Hinter den meisten Beiträgen steckt eine Marketingstrategie. Letztlich wollen sie etwas verkaufen. Manche Beiträge sind einfach nur absurd, manche kreativ, manche sind einfach nur traditionalistisch, viele sind jenseits jeglicher wissenschaftlicher Expertise. Wie funktioniert motorisches Lernen? Welche Trainingsmethoden sind effektiv(er)? Wo ist der Zusammenschluss von Forschung und Erfahrungswissen?
No ball is like te other, no game situation like the one before. Why should we repeat isolated situations in practice when we miss thousands of variations we meet in the game?
… our coaching philosophy. Not what we currently know from research on effective learning in sports. Things change; ultimately, we know that we don’t know anything. That’s why we draw on our years of combining theory and practice with hundreds of tennis players of all ages. We don’t stand still. This sometimes requires changes to that, what we do on the courts, which should also be reflected in the visual presentation and in the title.
Infos für Spieler:innen und Coaches. GAME MIND LEARNING
Therefore, we have decided to expand the name of our philosophy: Inner Coaching, which is now only one part of the TMS concept, is becoming GAME MIND LEARNING.
This includes Inner Game, Differential Learning, the Constraints-Led Approach, and the philosophy of the Heidelberg Ball School. We examine any perceived conflicts in the approaches using Wolfgang Schöllhorn’s Differential Learning approach and scientific verifiability. The name of the website Inner Coaching Blog will remain the same for now, as will the name of the Instagram account.
Thomas Tuchel ist ein Beispiel für den Erfolg des Differenziellen Lernens. Tuchel ist aktuell Nationaltrainer Englands. Das Interview ist schon etwas älter, da war er noch Trainer in Dortmund. Während seiner Trainertätigkeit in Mainz hat er viel mit Wolfgang Schöllhorn zusammengearbeitet. Schöllhorn gilt als Erfinder des DL.
Sometimes a short sentence or a picture gives you a flash of inspiration. This is, what we intend with posts and stories in instagram and facebook. Sometimes a lot a day, sometimes the next after a short pause for thought.
