Once a coach has learned the model, the next step is to effectively convey the model to the athlete in a way that they understand it and can emulate it.

Communication is not about what you say, but about what the person you are trying to communicate with hears.

If you did not know what an egg was, you would be shocked when one day the seemingly unexciting egg suddenly started to crack and a little chick popped out. What an amazing, miracle transformation. Egg one minute, chicken the next!
Certainly the event is a pivotal point in the life of a chicken: a literal breakthrough. However, from the point of view of the baby chick it is just another necessary step in its development.

Perhaps you have some quirky habit that you hate. What are you going to do about it?
