C4: Constructive vs destructive criticism
[Hook (text overlay, 0–2s)]
"'Good job' isn't coaching."
[Bad Coach 1] "Wow, amazing, great job!
Even though you didn't even try your best."
[Good Coach 1] "I don't mind that he's getting the better of you,
but you're not working hard like you usually do,
and you're not even trying to be brave and express yourself
when you have him 1v1. Your effort has to improve."
[Bad Coach 2] "How many times, seriously?"
[Good Coach 2] "Look, mistakes are OK.
I want you to try different things and make mistakes,
but not the same mistake 100 times.
That just shows me you're not trying to learn
and improve on that mistake."
[Bad Coach 3] "Do you even know what you're doing?
Don't do that again, just keep it simple."
[Good Coach 3] "Try it again. This time scan before you receive,
and take the touch away from pressure."
[Teach (Sia to camera)]
"Baseless praise is a lie,
and builds nothing but fragility and delusion.
Honest, detailed feedback builds trust, confidence,
and the right habits."
