II. Background Information for Learners
➢ Coaching cues are snippets of information, or task-orientated information, used to teach the athlete
how to perform the task/skill. Successful coaching largely depends on the coach’s ability to
communicate with the athlete using simple and effective coaching cues. Cues which are too long, too
complex, and are quite simply just too complicated, are unlikely to teach the athlete the desired skill.
As a result, a great deal of research has emerged in the past two decades which has attempted to
identify the most effective coaching cues to use; with the first study being published in 1998 .
➢ Coaching cues are perhaps most often used to focus an athlete’s attention on the key feature of the
task/skill which is being taught (e.g., getting up-tall whilst sprinting). Technically speaking, this is
referred to as the athlete’s focus of attention, or what is otherwise known as ‘attentional focus’.
➢ Methods of Cueing
1. Verbal Cues- are by far the most common and one of the most researched coaching cues
a. External- focuses on how the body’s output affects the environment (outcomes, objects,
etc.)
i. Description
ii. Distance
iii. Direction
b. Internal- Focuses on the body processes and internal systems (muscles, kinematics,
pressure, etc.)
2. Visual Cues -re rarely discussed in the coaching realm. However, there are some interesting
concepts in this category that can have a huge impact on your clients’ movement.
a. External- Influences movement through visual input (visual field, objects, orientation,
demonstrations, eyewear, etc.)
b. Internal / Motor Imagery - defined as an internal rehearsal or reenactment of
movements from a first person perspective without any overt physical movement. From
another perspective, MI, also known as kinesthetic imagery, is an active cognitive process
during which the representation of a specific action is internally reproduced in working
memory without any overt motor output” -Carl Gabbard and Ashley Fox
3. Proprioceptive - very common in both rehab and training (whether the practitioner knows it or
not). It’s a common sense type of approach that can have more profound effects than any other
sensory change.
