From FM Dalton Perrine's Substack post "The Most Common Mistakes Chess Coaches Make (According to Chess Coaches)"
What’s Hard to Teach but Actually Works
...
Fixing how a student thinks during a game. Getting them to think in concrete moves and sequences rather than in vague principles and words. Working on the mental side: how they handle frustration, how they recover from a loss, how they show up to a tournament on day three when they’re tired and behind. Raising the floor of their play before chasing the ceiling, because rating reflects your average performance and your worst games drag the average down harder than your best games lift it.
