60-Second Coaching Tips

Review Without Judging

After the bowl, ask what changed rather than immediately labeling it good or bad.

Player reviewing tactical outcome after delivery

Main Coaching Tip

Use REVIEW to inform the next decision.

Why It Matters

Instant judgement often triggers emotion and poor follow-up decisions. Review asks better questions: what changed in the head, what did the bowl allow, and what options now exist? This approach keeps thinking tactical and constructive, especially after imperfect outcomes.

Try This on the Rink

After each bowl, give yourself a brief review prompt: result, impact, next choice. Avoid labels like terrible or perfect. Focus on useful information for the next delivery. Over time, this builds calmer decisions and better adaptation during competitive ends.
