WOTM field guide

Growth

Turn training experiences into a specific adjustment. Improvement is easier to act on when you describe a situation instead of rating your overall talent.

Growth: Observe → Ask → Test → Review
Key sequence · Follow the detailed explanation below.
01

Choose one situation

Pick a recurring position, such as losing balance after a single-leg entry. Describe what happens immediately before the problem so the practice target is clear.

02

Ask a focused question

Ask the coach what one change would make the position stronger. A question about trail-foot recovery is easier to answer than asking how to get better at everything.

03

Test the adjustment

Use cooperative repetitions first, then light resistance. Keep the starting position consistent so you can tell whether the change actually helped.

04

Review and keep what works

Record the cue and the result. If the adjustment did not help, bring that observation back to the coach and test another small change.

Put it into practice

Your next session

Use a three-column note: situation, adjustment, result. Fill one row after two practices and compare the same situation rather than unrelated wins or losses.

What to look for

You should be able to name the adjustment and show it in a repetition. Progress may be a clearer decision or a more stable position before it becomes a score.
