Question 10

Direct Coaching

Answer 10

Traditional direct coaching approaches are rigid, and provide feedback on every practice attempt. This limits the need for the learner to go searching for their own movement solutions.

Question 11

Constraints based coaching

Answer 11

Constraints are boundaries that shape a learner’s self-organising movement
patterns, cognitions and decision-making processes. Constraints influence the
way performers or learners process information, make decisions and ultimately
move.
