Max Schmarzo (@strong_by_science) talks how our experiences shape us as athletes, skill acquisition, what really matters in our performance sessions and more
Description
Max Schmarzo is one of the most intelligent individuals I know of, he has been a massive resource in my education. Between other podcasts he's been on, his own podcast, his instagram, his educational platform EdgeU and every other platform he's on. He's one of if not the goat within the performance world (IMO).
Max is a machine, he brings so much knowledge to every conversation and the best part is that he can talk about some of the most complicated concepts and make it so easy to understand. That's a testament to his knowledge.
In this episode we talk about the Bayesian Brain, and how our experiences (output) affect how we are as people and athletes (input). He gives great examples and makes it extremely consumable
We then talk about skill acquisition, blocked versus random practice and why using Kobe or MJ may not be the best examples to look at when talking about skill development
Lastly we talk a little about performance, I will be getting Max on for a part 2 discussing more performance based stuff.
