I first heard the term "Role Model Tapes" in 2010 when I saw it written under player development on Lawrence Frank's dry erase board in Boston. I was a few years into being a video coordinator and I had made a lot of edits over the years for players breaking down another players game. I really liked the term "Role Model Tapes" for it.
Role Model tapes are a form of what psychology calls "Modeling" ....
"Modeling means learning by copying the behavior of someone else. Humans naturally model each other – for example, children use modeling to learn how to use utensils or tie their shoes. The definition of modeling in psychology means purposely changing a behavior in order to improve your mindset and achieve your goals"
