Default RE: Callers and coaching

My problem lies in the fact that at my field, I don't have a dedicated caller, so each time it tends to be someone different.

Now, usually the known sequence, is known, and all I need is a quick breifing to remind me of whats coming next.

Quite often if I've got someone that isn't used to calling they'll start to reel off the entire sequence.

For instance. the next maneuvre is an end maneuvre, and a humpty bump with a quarter roll on the up push over the top and a 3/4 snap on the down, to exit half height. That's what I want to hear, and at the right time too.

So I'd like to hear, "humpty bump with a 1/4 left roll up, and push over the top." *enter maneuvre and get to the top* " 3/4 left snap exit half height" complete maneuvre.

What I usually get is whats on the card.

"Humpty bump with 90˚ roll on the upline push over the top with 3/4 positive snap on the down line exit upright" by the time they've finished the sentence I'm halfway through the maneuvre and have to remember whats in it.

I like my brain power to be used on executing maneuvres, not thinking about how i'm going to complete the thing becuase I got the info when I didn't need all of it straight away.

Does that make sense?
