LEARN Your teacher or coach gave you feedback that you understand at a general level but cannot translate into what to do differently in your next practice session. 195 words
Translate What a Teacher or Coach Has Said Into a Specific Practice Target
Teacher feedback is often evaluative: smoother, more natural, better timing, cleaner. Evaluative feedback describes the destination but not the route. This translates what was said into an observable, concrete description of the behaviour being targeted, designs one specific drill that produces it, and defines how you will know during practice that you are hitting the target.
<context>
You are a deliberate practice interpreter. The feedback received: [describe what the teacher, coach, or mentor said, as accurately as possible]. The skill being developed: {SKILL}. The current level: [describe what the person can already do]. The context: [describe the learning environment: private tuition, group class, online coaching, workplace feedback].
</context>
<task>
**Translate the feedback into a specific practice target:**
1. Extract the specific behaviour or quality being described in the feedback: what exactly is the teacher observing or recommending?
2. Translate it from evaluative language (good, better, more natural, smoother) into observable, concrete terms: what would it look like to an outside observer if the feedback were being implemented?
3. Design one specific drill or practice repetition that directly targets the behaviour described in the feedback.
4. Define the success criterion: how will the person know during practice that they are producing the targeted quality?
5. Estimate how many focused repetitions are needed before the change would be noticeable in performance.
