As coaches and teachers we talk too much. Just shut up and let the students learn.
“The best way to learn is to do; the worst way to teach is to talk.” -- P.R. Halmos
That's the first sentence of an article called "The Teaching of Problem Solving". Paul Halmos was a mathematician. He may as well have been a tennis coach.
Hat tip to Seth Roberts for mentioning the Halmos article on his blog.
