Just an observation...

After thinking about some of the topics and discussions brought up in class i have realised in the sport of gymnastics at the club level, I as a coach of female athletes, have noticed that i do less technical coaching and more reassurance about being safe when performing skills. This mainly happens during the cognitive stage of learning. I have found that the athletes don't respond to the technical feedback when there is an element of fear in performing a skill.
