Adam runs us through what exactly Skill Acquisition is and how important and beneficial it can be when properly applied. Adam gives some fantastic examples that can be implemented right away.

🌟About Adam🌟

Adam is an Associate Professor at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) whose primary roles are research and teaching in Skill Acquisition.

Adam completed his PhD through the University of Queensland under the supervision of Professor Bruce Abernethy and Professor Damian Farrow. His thesis investigated the capability of expert basketball players to extract information from the patterns of play that exist in a typical basketball game.

Adam's previous work experience includes 4 years as a Physical Education teacher in secondary schools and 10 years working at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) as a Senior Skill Acquisition Specialist.

Adam's employment at the AIS involved working with a range of sports including basketball, netball, water polo, volleyball, rowing, swimming, and athletics. Adam's research interests cover a diverse range of topics, but most notably focus upon the areas of representative design of practice sessions, scaling of equipment for junior sport, performance analysis, manipulating constraints to enhance skill acquisition, and analysing the underlying factors that contribute to expertise in the sports domain.

Adam shares his wealth of knowledge and some exciting insights into some current research around Skill Acquisition.

The vest is what represents the weight of war. 

This representation is a visual one. One that we can see and one that can be removed when we like. 

The weight that our veterans carry with them is not always visible. It’s a weight that can start out seemingly insignificant yet grow and grow until it’s unbearable to the point where suicide seems like the only option. 

Well, we are here to help, STTN is here to show our veterans that they can take control of their lives and not only survive but thrive!  

Continuing on from part 1: Vulnerability, Ensure you’re having constant, genuine and engaging conversations to facilitate a space where vulnerability can be expressed and then the potential of a weight to be lifted may occur.

I’ll be talking a little more in-depth as to why I’m doing the weight of war run and the aspects behind the key elements of the event.   

This Ep sadly comes first because of the most recent passing of another active serving member within the Army. Continuing to highlight the current epidemic that current and former serving members of the Defence Force are facing.  

 Vulnerability, as I state, is a two-prong attack. We need to create a safe space through genuine and constant conversation with those we love and care about. We must also be willing to be vulnerable and have those tough conversations.   

As I state, it takes courage and strength to ask for help in all aspects of life, not just mental health. So we need not to view speaking up as a weakness. We also need to be real and understand that it is, more times than not, easier said than done.   So with that in mind, be diligent when having conversations and interactions. Take note of how our friends react to all manner of social cues and if you notice a change, approach them in a way that is becoming of safety and openness and have those conversations.

Let’s continue to frequently do our mate checks, take stock of how they are and continually foster an open, transparent and judgment-free environment to make those that need to be as vulnerable as they can be. 

A massive shoutout to the work that @survivetothrivenation does for all veterans with their program.

Another massive shoutout and sponsor of the weight of war run and veterans community @thepineappleexpress_vc. These guys are always the first to step up and get the veteran community coming together!
