Perfect Form Isn’t the Goal. Skill Development Is.
Parents & Coaches—this is an important reminder 👇
Kids do not learn movement by being corrected every single rep.
They learn by trying, adjusting, and figuring it out through practice.
Minor form differences—when they are NOT injury-risk—are part of the learning process.
If we jump in too quickly with:
• constant cues
• overcorrection
• “that’s not perfect” feedback
We rob kids of something critical: problem-solving through movement.
Movement skills develop the same way reading or math does:
👉 repetition
👉 trial and error
👉 confidence over time
Our role isn’t to coach perfection.
Our role is to:
✔ keep kids safe
✔ give simple guidance
✔ allow exploration
✔ let skills mature with practice
When kids are allowed to move, fail, adjust, and succeed—real skill sticks.
Let the skill develop.
Let the confidence grow.
Let kids figure it out.
That’s how strong, capable movers are built—for life.
