Whether we’re in the classroom or on the ball field, teachers and coaches are invaluable to us.
They help us to learn new skills and improve our performance.
However, not all teachers and coaches convey their knowledge in the same way.
Some tend to focus more on what we’re doing wrong when we try a new activity.
Other teachers and coaches take a more supportive approach and extol (see definition and hear pronunciation below) our attempts, even if we still have room for improvement!
