@Gordon Pretorius I've done the Freeze Frame and the Action Replay (as I call it). The players love the action replay call, sometimes they call it themselves: "Coach, action replay!!". The reason the players love the action replay is to try and correct what didn't work previously. They don't love the Freeze Frame scenario because when I call a Freeze, they are aware that I can call on any player to explain why he is in the position he is currently at and/or what will be his role moving forward from the position where he is currently at.

@Gordon Pretorius Yes, whenever there is an opportunity for learning it can't but be seen as valuable.

@Gordon Pretorius this is very interesting and I think should resonate with lots of coaches. My understanding is that all your athletes/players would want to be coached at the "i+1" level, because as you explained if we teach at the "i" level they might get bored and if we coach at an "1+10" level you might lose them along the way. ONe should always make it interesting and alluring to the players/athletes so that they always return for more.... The challenge, (even without the above info you provided) for every coach still remains you must be know your players and thus be aware of where your players/athletes are at in their development when they enter the field/hall/arena. If you as the coach know where they are at, it should be easier to gauge where the "i", "i+1" and "i+10" levels are, I think. A big issue at amateur level, is the players at your disposal are spread along a very large talent/skillset/quality range, you always have something of everything. The balancing act is where you get an "i+1" level practise for some might be an "i" or even an "i+10" level for others within the same group/team. How do you balance that? If all your players/athletes are more or less at the same level that sweet spot might be easier to find. Hope the above makes sense 🤣 🤣🤣. Tongue-in-cheek ..... I don't want my comment ito be rated as at an "i-100" level
