One of the hardest things to do is to slow your routine. Nothing makes a high time pilot bust blood vessles in their head faster than going a mile or two past the marker on downwind on a visual. Its OK (and safer) to walk it back to their speed sometimes. Its the only way they are going to learn. They are new, under a lot of pressure and told they are on probation every 10 minutes. They have to answer to their negative reports with formal carpet dance appointments. No one should sandbag someone by "writing them up" behind their backs in any case.
