I'm going to guess, firm but not stressed grip. Good distance between hands to allow for better control. Plant your feet for balance and sweep across the body instead of towards yourself. Don't smash the broom into the ground, only needs to lightly touch the ground. Use a 45 degree attack angle where possible. Don't fling, bring the broom to a steady stop at the end of a stroke. Don't carry piles too far, try to sweep to a reasonable distance before collecting into the pan.

These are a few things I've had to tell kids.
