Hunter Maats and Katie O'Brien are co-authors of 'The Straight A Conspiracy', a book which explores how kids 'learn how to learn'.

Both Harvard graduates, Hunter and Katie have lived and worked across Los Angeles, New York, London and Oxford and racked up thousands of hours of high-level tutoring. Through this work they identified a number of mental hurdles that students put up to block their own learning, and a great many challenges to effective learning which the traditional school environment struggles to address.

In this in-depth interview, The Coaching Manual Editor Pavl Williams sat down with the authors and discussed how their findings impact on the teaching and learning of soccer - and Hunter's time in England pays off as he reverts to saying football halfway through - or other predominantly variable sports.
