#10 - Killian Hamilton

This week on the Poddy we sat down with Killian Hamilton and took apart some of the most burning questions skaters have from the perspective of learning and acquiring skill. In skater language “how the f#ck do I learn this trick as quickly as possible”

 

Killian, a strength coach himself, teaches a course online called Skill Acquisition where he delves deep in to the science, anecdotal and personal experience from training world class athletes in order to accelerate the learning process. His teachings has seen world class coaches from all around the world seek out his expertise in order to help their athletes learn techniques that fast track their learning experience.

 

With skating being such a skill based endeavour, I had to have him on to help out all the skaters out there battling away with tricks and wondering if there is a quicker way. Sure enough he did not disappoint.

 

Join us for the convo where we went in to topics such as:

 

- When to walk away from battles and when to hang on.

- How to speed up the process of learning tricks

- The 3 stages of learning and how to maximise potential at each.

- Tips on what to do when you are stuck making the same bad mistakes over and over.
