Was thinking of doing a series of posts during the off season on the psychological (scientific) explanation of why HCSF's coaching methods work and work well. Don't want to put effort into it if people wouldn't be interested though. Would folks be interested?

@krc1995 I'm a professor of psychology. I approach the field from a behaviorist background. Most of what I'll be talking about builds upon the work of B.F. Skinner. I can include citations of people really want, but that doesn't feel like the best use of anyone's time.
Here are two good basic background type books:
Principles of Behavior - Dick Malott If you don't have a sophisticated understanding of behavior analysis this is probably the best book for getting you up to speed. It's quirky because Malott is a strange dude, but it's a really good book. Unfortunately, it's pretty pricey.Behavior Modification: Principles and Procedures - Ray Miltenberger This is another really good book on behavior analysis. It's more of an applied behavior analysis book but will have significant overlap with the Dick Malott book.About Behaviorism by Skinner is good but dated. I'll also be incorporating various common themes from more recent research. - Show next comments 3 more
