How to Identify A Successful Coach and Program

[Flash]

One thing I’ve noticed in great coaches is that they are extremely efficient in their corrections, they understand cause and effect. If an athlete needs work on A, B, C, and D a good coach addresses A, or whatever the root cause is, which in turn fixes B and C while a less experienced coach works on fixing the effects or everything at once. The great coaches don’t seem to say as much but what they say is focused and effective. Coaches that ramble on in explanation are either unsure and insecure or are in love with hearing themselves speak.

This dovetails with Ange’s observation. In Speed Trap Charlie refers to this as low density coaching.
