#69 Podcast Summary 5 - Eric Brymer
If you're getting value from our podcast check out our membership options and coaching community at theconstraintscollective.com where you can access podcast summaries, narrated presentations, early release podcasts and monthly online meet ups with experts from the Constraints Collective.Support the running of the podcast at patreon.com/TheConstraintsCollectiveIn this episode we explore Eric’s views on fear, risk, and why people actively seek out challenging or uncertain environments, not for adrenaline, but for meaning, connection, and personal growth. The conversation highlights how adventure-sport insights surprisingly overlap with team sports and coaching, especially around how athletes relate to their environment and how emotions shape learning. We discuss the value of helping people engage with uncertainty rather than protecting them from it, and how coaches can design environments that support exploration, authenticity, and self-discovery.Enjoy!!
Our mission is to transform practice environments in sport by equipping coaches with the knowledge, understanding and skills to bridge the gap between skill acquisition theory and practice.
