Reoccurring factors in teaching

After having some experience both teaching students techniques and teaching students teach said techniques I've realized that there's a lot of reoccurring factors. These factors are something that apply to any technique you teach and possible any other type of teaching.
The factors are:

- Describe every little detail. You can't expect a student to already know what you are going to say or what you are teaching them. In order for a student to know how to properly execute a kick you must explain it step by step. A student will learn much better if you describe the posture they should have, how the kick is executed, and exactly where the attack is geared towards. Giving the students all the details helps them paint a better picture in their minds as in how the technique should look like.

- Show, don't tell! The greatest leaders in the world lead by showing, not telling people how to do something. It's impossible for a student to know how a technique is executed if all you do is tell them. You need to show them. Students need to see how a kick is done in order to follow suit and do it. If you ever go to any dojo you will never, or shouldn't, see an instructor teach a new technique by just standing to the side dictating things.

- Repetition is key! At first I would get annoyed when my sensei kept telling to repeat things as much  as I could, but now I understand how important it is. Given that the students are barely trying to get a grasp of the technique they are still experimenting with it, so it's likely that they might get distracted while you're explaining a vital component of a technique. In order to ensure that students understand the technique in its entirety, you must repeat it.

- Try to make students understand the technique by relating it to another activity, for example a knife hand strike can be a lot like throwing a baseball. Getting students to relate an activity they are familiar with helps them better understand how a technique gets carried out. Since a good portion of students tend to be kids and teenagers, they still don't have a good grasp on how to move their bodies properly. This lack of coordination is the very result of growth spurts, and the very simple fact that they are changing. Giving them a hand in relating an activity with another can go a long way in helping with hand- eye and foot-eye coordination.
