Spotting Techniques
Welcome to the spotting techniques section. Here you will see various methods and techniques used to help athletes build confidence. But before you see the individual videos, I highly suggest you watch the “6 Spotting Techniques” video below. The number one thing all coaches need to remember is that spotting itself is a skill — which means you need to practice! If you do not have the reps under your belt, or you feel nervous, then do not put your athletes at risk by trying to spot. Rely on drills and other methods instead. Another golden rule to live by: if you’re constantly having to do more than 20% of the work, the skill is not ready to be spotted. Interested in upgrading your spotting skills on LIVE athletes?
