Vivid, slightly crude, anatomically-specific cues outperform sterile technical language because they create a single, image-driven motor pattern rather than a checklist. Saying 'big chest, tight lower back, knees back' forces the athlete to juggle three instructions and they often compromise one to satisfy another. A weird-but-memorable cue like directing one body part to one location in space collapses the whole cueing stack into one thought.
