Jump

The Olympic lifts are incredibly complicated. They can be dissected into hundreds of tiny sections, drilled hundreds of different ways, and argued about for years.
Given all that, it can be useful keep things simple. Sometimes, when the lift looks flat, it can be super helpful to simply focus on jumping during the clean. Why is that useful? Because jumping, will almost always cause you to go into full extension and put all your power into moving the bar.
To be sure, this is not a failsafe method, or even the best method all the time, but if you find your lift is slow and your brain is overloaded, focus on jumping, then have the coach give you some refinement from there.
