The Language Of Coaching (SBC XI) Book Review: Nick Winkelman
The Language of Coaching by Dr. Nick Winkelman beautifully blends the science of movement with the art of movement within three sections entitled Learn, Coach, and Cue. The complexity of memory, language, and movement are deconstructed to their most digestible size through analysis of research, anecdote, and attention grabbing artistic depictions of movements accompanied by their most potent cues. You’ll also find:
•
▪️3D Cueing: Direction, Description, Distance

▪️An athlete’s attention as a resource which can be exhausted and regeneterated - use it wisely
•
▪️Structure-mapping analogy based cues to increase effectiveness
•
▪️Creating a Habit Loop with the Cue, Craving, Response, Reward process
•
▪️DDCDD: Describe it, Demonstrate it, Cue it, Do it (athletes), Debrief it
•
▪️The Cueing Grid
•
▪️Narrow Internal and Broad Internal cueing
•
▪️Close External, Far External, and Analogy led cueing
