You have to guide these guys to do some "high effort" activities so they can get some results before they understand what true efficiency is. Otherwise you just make them feel even worse because they can't possibly execute in Month 1 what you guys who are in Year 7 are talking about.

I see what you are saying in theory but using that elaborate game-y stuff never really helped me very much. It's more trouble trying to absorb than it is worth in my experience.


It may help some other guys more, I haven't really met very many people who it has helped in that way. I think the tendency is for guys to get bogged down in the details of this or that method and ignore what works and what signals they are getting. That said, I never coached anyone, and I tend to defer in areas such as that to guys like Mark, who have.
