Understand the Coach

Leave it or Keep it

Keep = don't lose what's helping. Leave = where the coach sees the biggest opportunity. Then comes One Move.

The call says 'keep the chicken — leave the fries.'

How do you read that?

Leave the fries — keep the chicken.

FastSnap's position

Keep = helping.

Keep means the coach doesn't want you to lose what's already helping.

Leave = tips.

Leave means that's where the coach sees the biggest opportunity.

Then the coach gives One Move.

Not a moral label on the food. A map of the plate.

Don't scrap the plate

Only one part tipped. The helping still helps.

  • Greens

  • Garlic bread

One move

Keep the steak. Leave the garlic bread.

The steak still works. Leave names the opportunity — not a reason to throw away the sitting.

Same grammar, different foods

What FastSnap does

Every call teaches the same vocabulary: keep · leave — then One Move.

Next time you scan

When you see Keep… Leave…, translate it:

Keep → what's already helping.
Leave → where to focus.

Don't scrap the meal. Read the words.

Move

Keep = helping. Leave = the opportunity. Then comes One Move.
