Episode 40: Prashant Patel – From the Coach's Mouth
High-level cricket coach Prashant Patel stopped by the From the Coach's Mouth studio to talk with Jay and Ken about his career as a cricket (and for a brief time soccer) player in the UK and the US, how he got his start in coaching the sport, the steps required to become a youth sports coach in the UK (it's a lot more difficult than the US), and how the UK approaches player development in all sports. He then discusses ActionTypes, the original motor preferences/motor signatures system, and how it takes brain functions, personality traits, and more into account when developing a player profile so coaches can help their players improve performance while remaining healthier.
