I am a "hands-on" coach. In my mind, spotting is for safety and also for reinforcing correct body position. My spotting technique is rudimentary, but so are my students. Sometimes my students have said they dislike my spotting. I respect any complaints and refrain from spotting "upon request". But I wonder:
1. Should I ask my students why they don't like my spotting?
2. How do I know if I am actually bad at spotting?
3. Should I enroll in courses (out of my own pocket) to become a better spotter?
