The Science Of Building Skill, And How It Applies To YOU Under The Microscope: Dissecting The Art Of Basketball podcast

19:15

Can AI compress the years long research time of a PhD into seconds? Research scientist Max Jaderberg explores how “AI analogs” simulate real-world lab work with staggering speed and scale, unlocking new insights on protein folding and drug discovery. Drawing on his experience working on Isomorphic Labs' and Google DeepMind's AlphaFold 3 — an AI model for predicting the structure of molecules — Jaderberg explains how this new technology frees up researchers' time and resources to better understand the real, messy world and tackle the next frontiers of science, medicine and more.

Should We Listen to Music During Our Workouts? 23:43

Music can have such a profound effect on so many things in life, and that includes our training as basketball players. If you're looking for a "yes" or "no" answer here, you won't get one. But you'll get a very deep understanding of how music can alter our training for better or worse, when we may want to use it, when we may not want to use it, and more.

We all want to have that competitive edge over our competition so we're always looking for ways to challenge ourselves in our training. When we do that, we look towards some 'external tools' to assist us; such as tennis balls, cones, heavy balls, etc. Listen to our thoughts about some of the most common ones that we've heard of and seen being used.

Constructive Self Criticism 26:26

5 years ago26:26

26:26

Controlling your emotions on the court is not always the easiest thing to do, especially when you're so passionate about it. When you play well, you celebrate, and when you struggle, you sulk. We've all been there! What's most important is that you're keeping a level head and that you're able to learn from your mistakes when you struggle. Too many times, players use their past struggles as evidence of how "bad" they are instead of opportunities where they can improve. Try not to be too hard on yourself and ENJOY the game! Sure it's good to hold yourself to a high standard, but if your self criticism is heading in a direction that doesn't necessarily lead to your growth as a basketball player, then it's a waste of time and needs to be cut out! If you're a player that struggles with the mental side of basketball, this episode is a must listen for you!

Importance of "Role Players" // Efficient Scorer Package 16:51

If a majority of the shots taken at the college level (and even the pro level) are not isolation situations, why do we train every day as if they are? Too many times players hear the phrase "role player" and get discouraged or turned off. Role players are critical components of the game who are extremely valuable to every and any team they're on. Now with that said, how can YOU use that to your benefit? Tune in! In this episode, we also we give a little sneak peak to our Efficient Scorer Package that just dropped this past Saturday!
