He also writes for various action sports magazines and websites on his work with extreme sports. Topics Include: Darren on 'embracing the chaos' Why some world-class athletes are world-class because they don't do what they are told Why the design of your training environment or you as a coach may be holding your athletes back How athlete autonomy can facilitate improved performance Are learning styles a thing or are they B.S.?

0:00.0	So if you've been listening to the podcast for a while, you've heard me talk about in
