Question 12

Chris is having a tough time passing the ball, and the teacher goes over to help. Having analysed Chris's attempts, the teacher provides the following feedback: "No, that's not it. You are too tense. Why are you so uptight? Your head isn't straight and you aren't kicking through the centre of the ball - no wonder it doesn't go straight! Can't you do better than that?"
Rewrite the sentence to provide Chris with more effective feedback. Explain why your version is more effective.
