“…Studies into the concept of an 'average pilot' when designing the cockpits for fighter pilots in World War 2, draw interesting comparison here. Cockpits had initially been designed using average height and limb length data, only to discover that no single pilot out of the thousands of US air force pilots, fitted these 'average' dimensions (Rose, 2016). Biomechanical research of the fast-bowling technique could be in danger of repeating a similar mistake here.…”

Expert cricket coaches’ conceptions of the fast-bowling technique and how they coach it

The purpose of this study was to investigate expert coaches’ conceptions (internal models) of the fast-bowling technique, how they coached it and how they acquired the knowledge for both. Twenty expert cricket coaches from around the world, took part in semi-structured interviews, with all interviews being transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke 2006) was carried out and thematic networks (Attride-Stirling, 2001) were produced for the coaches’ models of a ‘good’ fast-bowling technique, a ‘poor’ fast-bowling technique; coaches’ approaches to coaching; and coaches’ sources of knowledge. The coaches’ model of a ‘good’ fast-bowling technique matched the empirical literature findings, as did the model of a ‘poor’ technique, with both models using the six-phase technique (Bartlett et al 1996). It is believed that the model of a ‘poor’ technique is the first of its kind to be produced. Fetisova et al (2020) suggested that coaches (expert and non-expert) tend to be able to identify the individual components of a technique, but the ability to distinguish the ‘big picture’ of the technique, how individual elements fit together and the biomechanical principles that cause this, are the factors that differentiate the expert coaches from the non-expert coaches. The coaches’ explicit discussion of biomechanical principles was varied across the cohort. The coaches’ approach to coaching was broken down into six sub-themes: ‘Coaching philosophy & beliefs’, ‘Physical and mental preparation and development’, ‘Coaching environments and interventions’, ‘Coach-player relationships and communications’, and ‘Other factors’. Coaches believed strongly in individualising coaching analysis and interventions and stated a preference for holistic development. However, there was little discussion of variation to pedagogical approaches, with coaches having a strong preference for using drill-based coaching interventions. The coaches’ sources of knowledge were also pulled into six sub-themes: ‘Experience, Coach education/CPD’, ‘Other formal professional knowledge and education’, ‘Conversations with other experts’, ‘Self-directed study’, and ‘Personal theory and experimentation’. Coaches built their knowledge and expertise in a non-linear fashion. Coaches preferred referring to former and current high-level performers as models of technique and worked closely with

The X-37B: Backdoor weaponization of space?

After spending 674 days in space, the military space plane known as the X-37B returned to Earth in October 2014. But no one really knows what its purpose was, or what it had been doing all that time, leading to all kinds of guessing in the popular press. Photos show something that looks like a baby space shuttle, and television newscasts suggested it could be a space bomber or a satellite meant to spy on other satellites. Using publicly accessible documents, the author attempts to piece together the planeÕs likely mission, and writes that the X-37B illustrates the United StatesÕ continuing interest in militarizing space and, possibly, weaponizing it in the future. He argues that such an approach inadvertently harms the security of the United StatesÕ own space assets.
