How many times have you heard the above heading or comments like it? How many times have we said it about somebody else?
People used to say about me,” I’ve been telling him until I am blue in the face but he just doesn’t seem to be getting it!”
That’s because I don’t learn particularly well when I have things ‘barked’ at me.
But,
Show me what you want me to do and I will be the best at it that you have ever seen!
That was MY WAY of learning and progressing. I wonder how much more talent has gone to waste or how many coaches and parents will be looking back now and thinking, I wonder if that’s what I should have done with this player or that player to help them progress?
The best thing about it is that we know about it now and we can do something about it now.
People learn best in one of three ways:
- Audio - Listening to it
- Visual - seeing it
- Kinaesthetic - Doing it
And generally, we learn 75% through sight!
Try talking to your Coach or your Parents about the different ways of learning and the different ways to communicate.
I wonder which way of learning YOU like the best?
