OODA in Sports Coaching: Constraints-Led Approach (CLA) Insights
Episode 134
Rob Gray, PhD on Constraints-Led Approach (CLA) in Sports Coaching
Dive deep into Col. John Boyd’s OODA Loop through the Constraints Led Approach (CLA) with Rob Gray (Arizona State University, Perception-Action Podcast). Discover how ecological dynamics, feedback, and adaptive training create flow states and elite performance in sports — and beyond
Guest Rob Gray, a professor at Arizona State University and host of the Perception Action Podcast, shares his expertise on ecological dynamics, skill acquisition, and building adaptable athletes. Drawing from baseball, basketball, and beyond, Rob discusses how constraints enhance human performance, feedback mechanisms foster learning through failure, and cultural differences shape coaching strategies—bridging OODA's perception-action loop with real-world training.
Rob, author of "How We Learn to Move" and "The Ecological Coach," teases how CLA transforms rigid drills into dynamic, game-like environments for peak performance.
