Doug Lemov , in his book ‘The Coaches guide to teaching’, he talks a LOT about feedback and  on page 139 he says- praise the good when they’ve done it , that way there is no doubt that they CAN do it, they already have ! Now “do it again” rather than, “Do it this way”
When we offer feedback, we tend to overanalyze and over explain, and over talk. Our kids lose focus (look at their eyes next time you’re offering feedback…you’ll know when to stop when you see them get droopy or distracted)
If we can tell those players to ‘do it again’, vs. correcting them with every rep or every other rep, THEY know what it felt like when it was done correctly. They know how low their butt was or how quickly they checked over their shoulder, or how fast they changed direction. We can simply offer them ‘do it again!’ and encourage them.
One other piece on feedback -‘use feedback like a sniper rifle , not a machine gun’. Be specific and suscinct when offering feedback (like a sinper, get it done in 1 quick shot), vs bombarding them with information and hoping something sticks (like a machine gun).
