Interesting take on coaching from a cognitive psychology perspective. But I would like to offer an alternate view from a different skill acquisition perspective. 🧵

First of all I think for a relatively new manager Kompany is doing a fantastic job at Burnley (keeping my @SheffieldUnited at bay!). He has clearly mastered a key component of coaching - developing and maintaining relationships - hence buy in.
1. Knowledge(K) of v Knowledge about
A lot of the info given is related to K-about. This can be useful, but the K used to control actions is knowledge of - so the def needs to develop that through repetition (w/o repetition) and exposure to those situations.

2. Skill is Information-driven
A key point is for the def to maintain an advantageous distance between him and the Att 👀ing to go in behind. That can be best achieved by attuning to specifying info e.g. movement of forward, position on field, passer behavior. It’s contextual.

3. Do, don’t tell
Experiencing the problem is best to learn effective functional solutions - K-of
Representative design can help here, create slice of the game to practice this scenario with functional variability. He can still instruct,but has to guide def to own ind solutions

4. Not convinced abt memory
The 💡 that we store programs to recall later being better than attuning to real-time info offered in context (which gets better with practice) is strange.
We respond by perceiving affordances, interacting w/ LTM in the moment seems cumbersome.

5. Action control laws will help maintain distance effectively - education of intention, attention, calibration.
Birds maintain distance really successfully without detailed mental representations.

6. Good design shapes behavior
@markstkhlm “first feedback comes from the design”
Contextual “in the game”knowledge (K-of) is more powerful for players than K-about (descriptive - how to do it)

7. Verbal report vs actions
Verbal reports of knowledge does not demonstrate an ability to do. “Arms length, match run”, recalling those cues, does not mean you can defend. Create activities that require a distance to be maintained - that is where best learning occurs.

8. Skill is a relationship
Detailed K-about in head is not skill. Perceiving info and acting upon it effectively is skill. It’s a functional fit @markstkhlm between ind and env. Attunement to info, coupling it to actions is more beneficial than memorizing instructions.

9. Own biography can skew view
I am sure Kompany was coached this exact way - we become married to methods. It just doesn’t seem feasible that we use memories to control action, when better info is available. That’s a hard shift though when surrounded by & exposed to cog psych.

10. Depends on the lens
Dan’s approach is grounded in cog psych, there are other viewpoints, such as ecological psych that look at skill acq very differently. This approach (tell) is common but doesn’t mean it’s right. Evaluate theoretical approaches beyond your personal exposure
