As a coach, I always look at successful coaches and figure out what makes them so. What do they do that others don't that make up the difference in the win/loss column? Why do some coaches advance players further than some that don't?

One of the things I've learned from Buddy Morris is to teach ONE thing at a time. He broke down the stats that made total sense to me.

"If I teach one thing, the athlete has an 87% chance of remembering it. When I teach TWO things, that percentage drops down to 33%. If I teach THREE things??? Well, Good luck with that."

That's why when new people come into my program we spend so much time teaching proper technique in our four main lifts.

When do they increase the weight of the bar? When I tell them to! When do I tell them? When they have demonstrated everything I taught them, the weight will increase until they don't do what I taught them and the technique reverts back to something that THEY brought to the gym.

Don't overwhelm the athlete with details. Just give them enough with the basics.
