Harold commented on my post with a story about a gymnastics instructor.
Her main method of teaching was to provide only positive encouragement after each attempt, without criticism. Just before the next attempt, she would give some corrective advice, like "keep your elbows tucked in this time".

I still believe that the only way to develop a skill is through practice and feedback, however when and how the feedback is given is extremely important.
(original emphasis)
It seems that we have a lot to learn from the coaches as well!
