Oh! You can’t do it?
Listen to me.
Watch what I do.
Now do what I do.
Not getting the hang of it?
An experience that can leave everyone confused about why it’s not working. And that might just be your experience in sports and physical education. The problem comes when coaches and teachers conflate providing an example worth copying with skills, drills, and content.
But perhaps there is another way.
Take away your car and you have no option but to walk or ride.
Remove the TV from the room and you will no longer find yourself lounging on the sofa.
Hide the chocolate hob nobs at the very back of the cupboard.
I know I’m cruel. But you get the idea.
Design the environment to the change you seek and the rest will follow.
