I’ve been experimenting with making music for sports movement and skill practice for about a year now. While doing this I started wondering about the opposite of rhythm training — what happens when the beat is unpredictable and athletes must monitor for irregular cues while performing a skill. It led me to explore a hypothesis around automaticity, distraction, and temporal monitoring in sport practice. I wrote a short newsletter sharing the thinking and research behind it. Link below.

Over the past year I have been experimenting with something slightly unusual, composing music specifically for sports movement and skill training. Most rhythm used in training environments is predictable.

Just spent time overseas with a young person in Bali working on a turtle conservation project. Doing this trip, i’m reminded how powerful volunteering and meeting new cultures can be for growth, resilience and perspective. These experiences build character in ways training alone can’t. They teach responsibility, adaptability, emotional awareness, and connection to something bigger than sport or performance.

If you’re a coach or club and think someone in your team would benefit, reach out.

Creating stronger humans creates stronger athletes.

During my recent work overseas in Bali, supporting a young person through a turtle conservation program, I was reminded of something that high-performance sport often overlooks: Character is not built in controlled environments. It is forged when athletes face something unfamiliar, meaningful, and b
