The choices aren't "play them in the game" or "tell them what to do".Absolutely, repetition is the base of all learning. However, how invested a person is in that repetitive motion is a factor in learning.
And here's the crux of what has been argued about for years...
They actually do stuff in practice. They don't have the players sit in a circle and tell them things. They work on their games. They work a lot, they work hard, and hopefully they work smart. Practice actually matters.
If, as an experience learner, I don’t see it for myself and am just being told to trust the person telling me my mistakes, there is a difference in my buy-in on that mistake. That could change my mindset to the repetition I am practicing.
If I think the problem lies somewhere else in my game, then I begrudgingly go through the motions of that repetition all the while thinking “when are we gonna get to the root of the problem”.
Also, there are different types of people (teachers/coaches) that just click with you. You can see that RC just clicks with Powell. Those types of “matches” will always get the most out of eachother.
