If you’re a coach who is an auditory learner, you tend to talk a lot to your team, because that’s how you learn. Remembering that learning styles are only preferences for individual players, all three approaches should be used in combination to assist in providing variety.

It’s imperative that when you do a demonstration that it is just not talked about – it should be shown to the group and then they should be given the opportunity to get involved.

Changing your mode of teaching style away from your preferred mode of teaching will encompass the whole team.

“The way you like to learn, is the way you like to coach.”

For instance, when you are introducing a new skill at training, get the team in and talk about it before you demonstrate it. Take into consideration that until you’ve spoken about it, demonstrated it, and experienced it, some players won’t know what you’re talking about.

“What do we usually do at halftime? Talk. What do we do pre-game? Talk.”

Instead, use the pre-game period to run through the game plan with the team. The visual learners get to see it, the auditory learners hear it and the kinaesthetic learners get to do it so it is fresh in their mind before they go out onto the field.

At halftime, use a whiteboard to illustrate what you mean. If you can transfer your intentions to a board, it will make the picture clearer. By changing your style a little bit, the players will become involved quite quickly. Everybody will still take in the information some just take it in more effectively.

When a coach starts to mix up his approach, the players start to learn differently, increasing the coach’s chances of broadcasting the message successfully to his players.

Take, for instance, this brand new skill. At the early stages of learning, players may look clumsy and uncoordinated. Their performance may be error riddled and their physical movement may be slightly restricted. Their rhythm and control are at a limited level.

As they progress, they reach a more intermediate stage. The player will have a basic command of the technique and sequencing...............
