Lines like 'verbal cueing has run out of road' sound reflective and honest, but they make the client read the operator's mood instead of the athlete's progress. The fix is active language: 'I tried a non-verbal cue this session; still tuning it.' Same fact, no dead-end framing, action lands in the operator's hands. The operator's reflections belong in internal notes; the client gets the action.
