The teacher's role is to help the student improve his own ability to do what?

• A. Memorize instructions
• B. Understand, detect and correct errors
• C. Copy another student's form
• D. Perform without feedback

Answer: (B)

The main idea is to build the student’s ability to recognize and fix his own errors. In coaching, progress comes when a player can observe what he’s doing, compare it to the intended move or result, understand why it’s off, and implement a correction, then test the outcome again. That self-analysis and self-correction loop creates lasting improvement because it makes the student independent, not reliant on someone else dictating every move.

Memorizing instructions tends to be passive and doesn’t develop the student’s ongoing problem-solving; copying another student’s form ignores the individual’s own swing dynamics; performing without feedback stops the essential loop that drives improvement. By focusing on understanding, detecting, and correcting errors, the teacher helps the student become capable of continuously improving on his own.
