Game Sense with Dr. Shane Pill

Positive pedagogy for sport coaching

In this eposide I teamed up with fellow professor and podcaster Dr. Risto Marttinen to discuss a collaborative action research project with Dr. Pill and an Australian Rules Football Coach who enacted a Game Sense Approach to his coaching. The podcast explains what Game Sense is (which has similar features to PPed. We further discuss the differences between Game Sense and TGfU and the Tactical Games Model, as well as the crossover that physical education teachers can have while implementing these approaches in a PE setting.
