BM084 – Marc West – The Science and Psychology of Cricket – Part 1

Описание: #brainsmatter #podcast #science

I talk to science communicator and cricket tragic, Marc West, on the topic of cricket – and the science and psychology of the sport. Marc has published several articles on the science and mathematics of the game, and in this episode, discusses the following with me:

– How fit are cricketers?
– How far do batsmen run during a century?
– How do batsmen know where the ball is going when their eyes can’t track the ball?
– The ways in which scientists make measurements of cricket players
– How does body language influence how good a batsman is?
– How much of the game is psychological?
– How can psychology be effective for a player?
– Mentally coping with new cricketing situations
– Using psychology to foster player development in the coaching process

Also featured in this episode is Listener of the episode, and listener feedback.

This is part 1 of a 2 part interview. Please listen in to episode 85 for the conclusion to the interview.
