The Science of Practice — with Dr. Will Wu

About this episode

In this episode, Raymond and Chase sit down with Dr. Will Wu, professor at Long Beach State and one of the leading experts in motor control and learning, to talk about how to design practice that actually transfers to performance.

They dig into the difference between motor learning and motor control, why block practice feels great but rarely holds up in tournaments, and how contextual interference and practice variability help players build adaptable, tournament-ready skills.

Will also shares how he’s bringing this research to life through two powerful tools: the Skilled Coaching Alliance, a program that helps coaches learn and apply the science of motor learning to their teaching, and the Practice Coach app, which builds personalized, data-driven practice sessions designed to accelerate improvement.

If you’ve ever wondered why your range game doesn’t show up on the course, this episode will change how you think about practice.
