Common Challenges:

- Finding the right moment to intervene appropriately
- Coaches having unrealistic expectations of students
Personal Patterns to Watch:
- "Powering down" when others show confidence
- Stepping back instead of staying actively engaged
- Letting others run the show by default
Creating Safety:
- Balance constructive feedback with positive reinforcement
- Provide a "sandbox" environment for experimentation
- Focus on boosting each other up while learning together
