Ep 108- 6 Minutes of Skill: How Does the Weight Room Fit within an Ecological Approach?
Welcome back to the Adaptable Athlete Podcast!
In this episode, we dive into another edition of the 6 Minutes of Skill series — where Coach Jav breaks down a key skill acquisition concept in under 6 minutes (or close enough).
This time, we’re tackling a big one:
How does the weight room fit within an ecological approach?
The weight room and ecological dynamics can often feel like they're pulling in different directions. But in this quick-hit episode, Coach Jav unpacks:
✅ Why the weight room isn’t the enemy
✅ How to create meaningful links between strength work and skill
✅ How variability can be a secret weapon in the weight room
✅ Why being weight room strong doesn’t necessarily mean being skillful
