EP64: The Where of Focused Attention
23/02/21 21:35 Filed in: Swerve Psyc
Welcome to this new episode of The Water Ski Podcast.
In this new episode of Swerve Psyc, Matteo touches on the concept of locus of attention, differentiating between internal (thoughts or parts of the body) and external (e.g., handle, ski, buoys, boat). Research in motor skill learning and sport psychology has shown that learning or refining a new skill by maintaining an external locus of attention leads to faster learning, more consistency, and especially less movement disruption when under pressure. Tune in as Matteo gives a few ideas of how to apply these solid findings to water skiing!
Enjoy and please reach out to let Matteo know what you think about this or future Swerve Psyc episodes.

EP63: Ski Talk with Erik Berghiller
09/02/21 23:58 Filed in: Ski Talk
This episode of The Water Ski Podcast is a long conversation with water ski innovator Erik Berghiller.
Erik is a Swedish water skier and creator of the OffCourse™, a new way to create a slalom course on the water. Matteo was extremely intrigued by the device since he first stumbled upon it online a few years back, and was really curious to hear Erik's story into water skiing. Not surprisingly, his story was extremely interesting and sheds light on what led Erik to come up with the OffCourse™.
Enjoy this chat and come back next week for another episode :)

EP62: Ski Talk with John Horton
02/02/21 21:56 Filed in: Ski Talk
Welcome back to The Water Ski Podcast for Episode 62 with none other than John Horton!
John is a competitive skier and well-known in the water ski community as the founder and person behind BallOfSpray, without a doubt the most visited water ski website out there! Matteo was hyped to interview John for two main reasons. The first one, of course, was the website itself and John's opinions about the state of the sport. However, the second equally exciting reason was to get John's story. Often, the personal story can shine light on the athletic and professional outcomes an individual achieves. This was definitely the case with John Horton!
Finally, John and Trent Finlayson host a video cast called "Distance From Center", where they provide news on upcoming and current water ski events. Check it out!
Sit back and enjoy it!
