Criteria Before Progression

A mini-guide to offering progressions by observable readiness instead of ego.

"Take the harder option if you can" asks people to decide who they are. This guide replaces levels with criteria: the five observable markers to look for before offering a progression, the language that turns a progression into an earned next step, and scripts for the most common exercises where instructors default to "if you want to".
