Lock steps 1 to 3 before anything else. Get 1, 2, 3 out of the way fast, then you can use their words against them.
Coaching notes
- Because I skipped some steps, you never got to number three again.
- You ventured away from the flowchart, just bring it back.
- If you mix up later steps, don't mess up the first three.
