32. Four Mental Skills for Goaltenders (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, I examine a 2006 research note by Ryan Gelinas and Krista Munroe-Chandler that organizes the mental side of goaltending around four psychological skills: • Concentration • Arousal control • Imagery • Self-talk We explore how a goaltender’s attention must shift between broad and narrow cues, why optimal arousal is individual rather than universal, how imagery can prepare athletes for specific situations, and how purposeful self-talk can keep the mind connected to relevant informa
31. Choking Under Pressure (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Following last episode’s look at the Yerkes-Dodson Law, Episode 31 takes a more modern—and more sport-specific—look at performance under pressure. Using Vivien Valckx’s 2026 review From Choke to Clutch: Using Neuroscience and Psychology to Understand Performance Breakdown in Athletes , we explore what the research says may actually be happening when an athlete chokes. The review brings together sport psychology and neuroscience research around three major mechanisms: Self-focus — consciously mon
30. The Yerkes-Dodson Law (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Yerkes–Dodson law is usually presented as a simple inverted-U relationship: performance improves as arousal rises, reaches an optimal “sweet spot,” and then declines under excessive pressure. The original 1908 paper did not actually test that relationship. Robert Yerkes and John Dodson studied how electric-shock intensity affected the rate at which dancing mice learned a visual discrimination. Their results suggested that the most favorable shock intensity changed with the difficulty of the
29. Foundations Series: The 10,000 Hour "Rule" | Anders Ericsson (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The 10,000-hour rule has become one of the most recognizable ideas in sport, coaching, and skill development—but what did the original research actually say? In this episode of the Coretex Athletic Review , we examine the landmark 1993 paper by K. Anders Ericsson, Ralf Krampe, and Clemens Tesch-Römer that introduced the concept of deliberate practice . Rather than accepting the popular interpretation at face value, we trace the history of the idea from Simon & Chase's chess research , through Er
28. Foundations 1: Schmidt's Schema Theory (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 1975, Richard Schmidt proposed a new way to explain how we learn, adapt, and evaluate movement. Rather than storing a separate motor program for every action we might perform, Schmidt argued that we develop generalized rules—or schemas—connecting the situation we encounter, the movement we produce, what that movement feels like, and its eventual outcome. In this episode, I explore: The storage and novelty problems that challenged earlier motor-learning theories Generalized motor programs and
