Cue movements so they actually change
External-focus cues, one fix at a time, and demonstration pairing accelerating skill acquisition.
foundation~20 minCoachesS&C SpecialistsAthletic Trainers
Steps
- 1Prefer external focus ('push the floor away') over joint anatomy talk
- 2One cue per attempt; stacked instructions freeze learners
- 3Show AND say for novices; fade demonstrations as skill grows
- 4Reinforce what's right specifically before correcting what's off
- 5Check understanding: ask them to tell you the fix in their words
- 6Retire cues that stopped producing change; rotate metaphors
Common Pitfalls
- ▲Anatomical lectures mid-set
- ▲Same ineffective cue repeated louder
