During this past month, many of the athletes that I am currently coaching have gotten skills that they still refuse to do without a spot. As a coach, it's frustrating to keep spotting skills that I know the athlete can do on their own, they are just too afraid to try, or when they do try, they get scared and change their technique causing them to fall and need a spot again. I've heard of other coaches using a method where they say they will spot but moving out of the way mid skill so that the athlete basically does It on their own without knowing but I can see that going badly. Coaches: how do you get your athletes to do new skills? Athletes: what method has worked for you to help you gain new skills?
