Instructor Notes
Fast coaching rules: correct the thing that fixes the most other things.
What to correct first
- Base (stance + balance)
- Alignment (aiming, knees/hips/shoulders)
- Transition (land clean, no shuffle)
- Timing (step + technique together)
Simple cues that work
- “Land quiet.”
- “Freeze. No adjustment.”
- “Keep head level.”
- “Relax until impact.”
Drill-first teaching
If a student repeats the same correction 3 times, switch to a drill. Drills are the fastest way to build stable habits.
