#46 Albert Deuker
As a sports science expert with a deep-seated passion for soccer coaching, Albert's academic and professional pursuits are anchored in a profound enthusiasm for enhancing sports performance. This journey has led him to specialize in the field of Ecological Dynamics, a framework that aligns with his approach to understanding and improving performance in soccer.In this domain, his primary focus lies in the investigation of “representative learning designs”. This research is pivotal in bridging the gap between practice sessions and actual match scenarios, ensuring a more effective and seamless transfer of skills and strategies from training grounds to competitive environments.Through his research, Albert aims to contribute to the field of sports science, promoting modern, evidence-based sport pedagogy, offering innovative insights and practical solutions to encourage coaches to design training environments that afford players to train as they play.Link to paper: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/02701367.2024.2434155?casa_token=tYlh2ZFZYFcAAAAA:OLif2JZiWvLFCCJnXou1TSlrnD3lyl_M6uzeQh4LcJI0K2O6s5vdxU86XtgI8gGNPDZjl8Afn8Nr4g
Our mission is to improve learning environments in sport, education, medicine, law enforcement and the military, by translating the often-dense theoretical language of academia to a form that makes sense for practitioners to apply in their context.
