Field Scenario
A trainer gives a client a technically excellent training plan, but the client seems confused by the terminology and unsure how to actually execute it at home.
What You Actually Do
- Recognize this as a communication gap the trainer needs to address, not a client failure
- Re-explain the plan in plain, accessible language without technical jargon
- Confirm the client genuinely understands the practical steps before ending the session
- Remember that a technically correct plan only works if the owner can actually execute it
