This is another tidbit from “Train Tough the Army Way” by Mark Bender. When your Coach/teacher points out a weakness / area for improvement, do not take it personally.
I know this can be tough from personal experience. When I was younger and very much into my martial arts, I would travel to many different camps/training events. Unfortunately, I went in with my teacup full most of the time and now realize I could have learned so much more. Later on, I realized that while this method may not be the same as my official teacher’s, it still has merit and I can pick out the good points and add it to my skill set.
So when you get corrected say thank you and do your best to make corrections. If your Coach did not point out these areas, you would continue to perpetuate the mistakes and never reach your full potential. You should be grateful that your Coach/teacher is taking time to help you improve, because it is worse if your Coach ignores you and never offers corrections.
Remember, that is why you got a Coach in the 1st place!
Training smarter, means getting help fixing your weak points.
