Coaches who talk too much, lose the most active of players. Keep
your words and instructions concise. Use as few words as possible
and let the players see the skill done correctly. Then give them ten
times more repetitions with quick individual corrections. Use your
words only to focus the attention on detail. Follow the progression of
accurate demonstration, practice, quick reinforcing correction, and
more practice. Coach John Wooden says the eight laws of learning
are, “explanation, demonstration, imitation, repetition, repetition,
repetition, repetition, repetition..” Nothing in athletics should be
taught using just words. Everything needs visual demonstration and
lots of repetition
