Fisher spent millions developing a space pen, only for the Russians to reveal they used pencils. Framing the problem too narrowly leads to obvious, but wrong, solutions. Ask: are you framing the challenge correctly? #Innovation #ProblemSolving
Assess technical model knowledge by explaining each phase of a lift. It's about matching your actions and words, not superstar performance. Focus on technical language, not coaching cues. #Coaching #FitnessEducation
