However, play is not just free form improvisation or what children do on the playground; it requires a foundation in what you are practicing.
In this episode, we get into a subject that is near and dear to our hearts and some of our other parts: how to play with yourself.

- What Play Is: It’s not just what kids do, what Play is in the context of training and skill acquisition
- How to Play Effectively: Play with what you already know; examples of how to explore what you are practicing
