From doing a karate for many years sometimes a student just isn't in the right place mentally for that. They are too focused on other elements of the other things they are doing at the same time or are preparing to do. There are things that literally took me years of occasional repetition of corrections for me to both understand what was going on and apply the correction, but eventually someone will tell me something that they have probably told me many times over a a period of several years and suddenly it all makes sense and I can apply the correction.What about people that you have told 2 times before and know they can do it but are not doing it.
Lets say hand positions or bend in their knees or fin positions. How many times do you pull them aside and give them a warm arm and talk to them before you just shout ' Dave arms out knees bent' that shouting is not angry shouting at dave but is enough to refocus him on his arm position and leg positions
For scuba, a gopro is an amazing tool at showing people what they are really doing underwater, which is often not very much like what they think they are doing.
