Practice, practice, practice!
I agree, my brother would always confuse me by telling me what he wanted me to do with the pickup and not what he wanted me to do with the trailer. After a couple of good swear words he now lets me do it on my own and that's a 1000 times better then him confusing me with bad instructions.
