A new addition to the coaching toolkit, perhaps — not quite instruction or demonstration, but not “guided discovery”, either — learner rehearsal.
Not enough, in my experience. Still tends to be “do it this way”; “no, put you top hand here, and your foot here”. We still too often coach with an “ideal technique” in mind — the “eye test” — the player who “looks right” (i.e. is closest to an ideal) is rated most highly.
Not in any way to condone what has been reported recently, but I find it difficult to believe the coaches involved are (or started out as) the bullies and abusers they are now revealed (alleged) to be. Or that any coach went into sports intending to provide performance enhancing drugs to his athletes?
