When coaching young people in kickboxing, it’s not just about teaching them techniques, combinations and discipline. It’s about building confidence, resilience and a positive attitude towards learning.
That’s why we use the approach of praise, correction, then praise again.
Praise – Recognise what they’re doing well, their effort and their progress.
Correction – Explain what needs improving in a calm, positive and constructive way, helping them understand that making mistakes is part of learning.
Praise again – Reinforce their effort, encourage them to keep trying and celebrate their improvements, no matter how small.
We want our young people to understand that being corrected doesn’t mean they’re not good enough. It means they have an opportunity to learn, develop and become better.
