Dr. Howard opens Volume 2 by making the point that coaching is combining the science of learning with the social charisma of human interaction. The easiest thing part of this formula to change is the science part. That is the emphasis of Volume 2 in this series. While human interaction is a common weak point in many coaching situations a more clear understanding of the science of learning can only enhance your coaching methods. Dr. Howard exposes you to the three components to the science of learning.
Antecedents affect current behavior.
Behavior is the action of the learner at the present. It is out of control of the coach. Consequences provide feedback as to the success of the players' behavior. The consequences are those events that actually control future behavior. Dr. Howard does a terrific job of giving you actual coaching examples in basketball drills as to how antecedents, behavior, and consequences all interact to produce learning in this video.
