About Rob.

Rob is a coach developer, teacher, and researcher. Over the past decade, Rob has worked alongside coaches, athletes, teachers and students with the common goal of helping people to learn and develop by design, not by chance. Clients have included The Premier League, The AFL, The FA, and various state/national bodies in sports such as cricket, soccer, basketball and hockey.

Rob started this blog as a way of making research more accessible to practitioners. He strongly dislikes the idea of his work sitting behind an academic paywall, unable to be accessed by the people who could make the biggest impact with it - the coaches and teachers at the coalface.

Rob holds a PhD in Education and a Masters of Teaching from the University of Melbourne.
