Coaching Different Learning Styles


Learning Style:   Introduction   Auditory   Visual   Kinesthetic   Sequential   Summary

Introduction
Have you ever run out of breath trying to get a team to change their ways? You are exasperated by the player's inability to grasp what you are trying to accomplish and you are at the point where you feel they are purposely defying you. Nine times out of ten, the reality is: they do not understand what is different between what you are asking and what they are doing.

Individuals have different learning styles. That is, most people favor some particular method of interacting with, taking in, and processing information. A learning style is the method of learning particular to an individual that is presumed to allow that individual to learn best.

There are four major learning styles: auditory, visual, tactile (kinesthetic), and sequential. Each learning style is unique and requires a different teaching method. An individual leaves clues in their word choice and actions that enable insights into their dominant and preferred learning method.
