Coaches…

Grab their attention…hold their attention…use their attention.

Why?

Because their attention is their prime mediator for learning and for behaviour change.

Make their attention your priority in your coaching sessions. Make their attention the relay station that helps the information you want to get across to them marinate in their short-term memory and eventually seep into their long-term memory.

Attention…short-term memory…long-term memory.

A message of “Eyes on me…” and then tone, volume, and pace helps your players note importance (their brain will work towards reward “this is important to get right” and away from punishment “this would be a problem if I get this wrong”).

With ‘eyes on you’ and with importance set…keep your instructions lean and lucid…short, simple, snappy…

Short, simple, and snappy because you want their working memory to hold the information you have for them and make sense of this information (with relation to their current knowledge).

Short, simple, and snappy because working memory is small and weak and can a mere three chunks of information (approximately).

Eyes on…

Tone, volume, pace
Short, simple, snappy

And then use their attention…

Direct their attention through your session design, your instructions and through your questions.

Make them look, help them hear, tap their thinking.

To look…attention on external clues that are important to them.

To hear…attention on your instruction that mediate their knowledge.

To think…attention on their current knowledge of the game, the problems that have been set for them, the solutions they might use.

Great coaches are constantly looking to help players direct their attention in appropriate ways in order to learn and to change behaviour.

Coaches…

Grab their attention…hold their attention…use their attention.

EDUCATION IS POWER!

IT..!

Collaboration is Key ⚽

"Think deep and play deep .. whenever possible".
