WEBINAR: Emotional Abuse vs. Tough Coaching
Eliciting High Performance Without Causing Harm
As coaches, we spend countless hours with our athletes. During these hours, we engage in various coaching behaviors, including encouragement, critique, and discipline. Depending on our coaching backgrounds and philosophies, we also engage in what is often referred to as “tough coaching.” Tough coaching is an important part of how we communicate with our athletes, establish respect, and ensure high performance. The key to this coaching behavior is to avoid unnecessary harm to our athletes.
Whether you are a college coach or coaching your own child’s youth sports team, this information can help guide your steps. Be the coach that makes a difference and guides success!
