Education changes behavior. Coaching is education. Coaching changes behavior.
Effective coaches often use the "sandwich technique" placing corrections in the middle of praise. They also 'speak greatness' choosing "you did well AND..." over "you did well BUT."
Excellent players are coachable. Performance defines players not just effort.
Great players study the game and their performance on video to learn what went well and what could have gone better.
