Episode description

How can you spot and work with the internal commentator that a student might have?  How can you be more self-aware as the student and send the right signals to your coach so they can be better for you?

In this episode, we continue to take apart the internal commentator to figure out how to work with it instead of against it.  

Here is what we have so far:

  • Slow down your transfer of personal data - you, not your student is skilled in tennis techniques, movement, strategy - they process slower
  • Narrow down the choices a student will have to choose from
  • Watch for the outward expressions of understanding or confusion and be ready to roll with it
  • Keep in mind what kind of student they are-will to connect, conquer, know, or serve  
  • Question whether they have the will to work on what you want - if they don't ask them what part of it they want (their will) to work on
  • Work on it together

This of course is just a start.  Tell us where we can take it next!
