DC chapter 9 summary
Summary: There are four virtues of coaching. First is creating a matrix. This means knowing everything you can about your field so that when you teach a student you can make endless connections to help that student reach their potential. Secondly, perceptiveness is required to evaluate the needs of each student. No two students will be exactly the same. As a teacher you should be perceptive in what each student requires as you teach them. The GPS reflex is the third virtue which means that you as a teacher know how to give short informational phrases of feedback. The fourth virtue is theatrical honesty which is especially useful when pointing out errors. Drama and character are the tools master coaches use to reach the student with truthful feedback. These virtues sum up the qualities of a master coach. They can reach the student in a way that others can't because they care and they are giving truthful feedback that will help the student succeed. Different circuits are required for different skills which means that different coaching styles are needed. There are flexible-circuit skills like soccer and there are consistent-circuits like when playing the violin.
Key Concept: Master Coaches have deep knowledge and understanding in their field. They know how to get on the same level as their student to help them be successful. There are flexible and consistent circuits that require different types of coaching.
Key Terms: Flexible-circuit
Consistent-Circuit
Matrix
Making Connections: When my instructor gives me constructive feedback constantly sometimes it is a bit overwhelming but as I try and fail then try again I am myelinating the required circuits required to become a good singer and THAT is a good thing.
