EZMUSCLECoaching Cues That Build Movement Confidence
A useful cue changes what a person can do. It should be understandable, relevant to the task and simple enough to remember during the next attempt.
Start with the person’s goal
Ask what feels difficult and watch the movement before choosing a correction. A person learning a chair squat may need a different explanation from an experienced lifter preparing for a heavier set.
Change the task when words are not enough
A box, support, lighter implement or different stance may help more than repeating an instruction louder. The adjustment should make the desired movement easier to practise without pretending there is only one acceptable body position.
Check that the cue helped
Compare the next attempt and ask what the person noticed. Keep useful language and discard cues that create confusion or unnecessary tension. Confidence grows when the task and the evidence of improvement are clear.
