Schultze and Jorge tackle the pitfalls of common coaching cues that hinder client progress. They delve into how vague commands like 'chest up' and 'knees out' can negatively impact biomechanics. The discussion highlights the importance of clarity in communication and the unintended consequences of technical jargon.
