This in an excellent and easy read on athlete neurology.


For those unwilling to take the time to read the article I'll paraphrase it.

Athletes are more efficient in the neurons they use.  They have this skill because the brain is maleable and when it sends a command it takes into account the response.  It improves the efficiency of its commands with each outcome.

Athletes who are more practiced perform better and are better able to anticipate an outcome with only seeing the beginning movement.

Athletes with less experience in practice can only guess what outcomes will be.

"These studies are beginning to answer the question of what makes some people great athletes: They are just able to rewire their brains according to certain rules. As neuroscientists decipher those rules, they may find ways to give people better skills."

They tried out a theory of using an electrode whenever patterning a new skill.  Those with the electrode remembered better how to do the exercise after months of not practicing.

It definitely questions what is the future ethics in sport training.

Dance Congress March 12, 2010

Each year on the Wednesday evening before the U.S. National Amateur DanceSport Championships, sanctioned by the NDCA, BYU invites ballroom professionals to teach for half an hour each.

This year we were given the pleasure of listening to Ron Montez talked about important technical and non-technical aspects of Ballroom. Olga Foraponova, who spoke brilliantly on connection and how to define and take care of your partner. Wendy Johnson who said quote "I can talk the leg off an iron pot!" just after she explained that Ron had given her half hour of instruction first. At the end we listened to five of the judges answer questions that the audience had requested earlier.

I wrote notes as quickly as I could. Most of the information Brian and I know, we simply think of it as common knowledge, but we want to make sure you know all the little things as well. I sometimes wonder if Brian thought I was crazy to write most of what I recorded. Chuckle. I think you'll benefit anyway.
