HOF coach explains why implicit learning is longer lasting

In this video HOF coach explains how we all learned to ride a bike through implicit learning. Kessel uses the word "intrinsic," which is probably intentional. I'm using the word "implicit" to say that we don't just want to tell the learner exactly how to do something ("explicit" instruction or directing). We can promote more durable skill acquisition and performance through implicit learning and guided discovery.

Kessel uses the word "questioning." I'd like to add context to this word. It's not simply about asking questions. We can question players the wrong way. For example, "why didn't you just set the outside at the end of the match there?" This isn't a great question. In fact, it's barely a question. It's certainly not the kind of questioning that we are after.

It is true that guiding can be done by asking questions, but it's meant to draw out of people what is already within. So, when you're thinking about asking questions to promote sticky learning focus on 1) drawing out, 2) encouraging, and 3) motivating.
