Knowing a skill isn't enough if you don't know how to teach.
Because if you don't know how to teach, you can't pass on what you know.
Learning a skill has three distinct phases, presented in rotation: education, practice, and training.
Education happens with the eyes and ears. It's where you learn what you should be doing. What an ideal execution of the skill looks like. How to hold the golf club. How to align your front and rear sights with your eye. How to throw a right cross.
There is no point in doing until you know what proper doing looks like. Otherwise you cannot correct yourself.
After education comes practice. You know what you should do, but you won't be able to do it, not at first. You'll try, and it will be wrong.
That's fine. What's important is that you know that it's wrong, and you know what right should look like. Then you can correct yourself, bit by bit.
Practice must be performed under as little stress as possible. Because you're not using the skill, you're trying to learn it. Slow down. Relax. Make the task as easy as it needs to be, because the important thing is make the execution correct.
Move the target in. Put away the shot timer. Go slow.
When you have practiced enough to be able to consistently execute a proper repetition of the skill, then, at last, it is time for training.
The goal of training is to learn to perform the skill under stress. How much stress? However much stress you will be under when you need to use the skill.
In training, you start out with standard practice repetitions. Then you increase some aspect of pressure until you start to fail. Then you practice at precisely that level until you succeed, consistently.
Then you increase the pressure again.
So, should an instructor bark at a student?
Yes, sometimes. Sometimes, in training, that is precisely the source of the stress you need to apply.
But when you bark, you must bark in a calculated manner, to achieve an intended effect. Not because you, personally, are frustrated and do not have the self-control and maturity to impose a filter between your feelings and your actions.
Barking at a student in education serves no purpose.
Barking at a student in practice serves no purpose.
Only in training does barking help.
There is only one thing that humans can learn under stress, and that is how to do under stress what they already know how to do in calmer conditions.
An instructor must know this.
He must be able to be patient and considerate and calm, and he must be able to be stern and demanding and scary. Both of these must be tools in his toolbox, under the command of his reason, knowledge, and experience.
Not compulsions from his own feelings.

💵500 BILLION DOLLARS🔥💵
Yes, you read that right. That is the amount that was incorrectly put in the Illinois State Budget that passed the House and Senate at 4AM on June 1st.
The Democrats and Governor Pritzker are trying to explain this away as a simple error. However, what it has actually done is proven the point of Republicans that it is completely reckless for the Democrats to pass 4,000 page budgets in the middle of the night.
We thought it was just Republicans that didn't have a chance to read the budget, but apparently not even the Democrats proofread their last minute amendments.
If a $500 billion dollar mistake can make it in the state budget, what else is being shoved in those pages that nobody knows about? It's time for transparency!
@timstarr2001@Lark2rule Some Ukraine supporters got one-shotted by Kremlin/CCP anti-Israeli propaganda too. Lol they can't comprehend that CRINK flooded the information space with both delusions, sometimes posing as sympathizers to their default causes/sympathies.

When religious liberty collides with anti-discrimination law, where should libertarians draw the line?
@RareCamellia breaks down the Missouri angle, Title VII protections, and whether a state attorney general should be targeting a private league at all. If government can intervene here, where does it stop?
For years, conservatives were told to sit down, shut up, and apologize for everything. I think that era is over.
The culture war changed because people got tired of losing politely. Agree or disagree?
America has never had a pointless war
America has NEVER had an unjust war
Never.
Not the Revolution
Not WW1 or WW2
Not Vietnam
Not Iraq
Not Afghanistan
Not Iran
Not any of our many many many wars
NEVER.
To believe otherwise is pure folly.
My correspondent Andrew Moore @MooreIAm just got back from Kyiv, Ukraine where he spent the night in a basement shelter while Russia hammered the city with missiles.
Around 4am, the strikes stopped and people thought it was over, which is exactly when Russia fired its hypersonic missiles, a deliberate tactic to hit civilians the moment they let their guard down.
Ukraine intercepted ZERO of the eight or nine ballistic missiles that were fired that night, and because the Kremlin rushes them out with faulty gyroscopes, they miss by hundreds of meters and can land anywhere, killing civilians.
This is what families in Kyiv survive every single day. It is nothing like the war you are being shown online.
