At football
The coach explains a new drill in one go: run to the cone, pass, turn, run back. You could not follow after the first bit.
What could you ask?
Three things you could say. None of them is the one right answer; each note says why it fits the moment, or why it may not.
Can you show me the first bit?
A strong fit
Seeing one bit is easier than hearing four. You can ask for the next after.
Can I watch someone do it first?
Also works here
Watching one person is a good way to learn a drill.
Run somewhere and hope it is right.
Worth a second look
You can. You might end up at the wrong cone with the ball.
What people here usually expect
- Coaches expect kids to ask about drills. Everyone does.
- Watching one person do it first is a normal way to learn.
- You can ask more than once.
