It's time for us to change the culture on how we use to do things to how we should do things. All this hollering and yelling, jumping on kids for simple mistakes, stuff needs to be cut out. I understand instilling fear and demanding respect, but yelling until you the person yelling dayum near pops a vein in your head isn't always warranted.
Let them cacs do that. We ain't them. We have much bigger problems to face and berating a kid in public ain't helping that kid's mind-set. I'd rather a conversation be had, let it be firm, direct and a sprinkle of encouragement wrapped all in that conversation, it can be all said in a 1-3 minute convo. Tough love, being firm and direct, and the love is the encouraging part so that it's not that deep and I still got your back
Kid jumps off-sides, gives GSU a new set of downs.
Coach:
Come on son, mane we aint need that, we gotta stay focus, you gave up a new set of downs, that hurts us, dayum, but let's re-group and let's go back out there and make a play. Bam that's it. Kid aint down, and he's willing to take his ass back out there and run through a brick wall for you.
All that yelling and throwing down your head-set and sh1t, slapping a kid on his helmet as he comes towards the sideline, nah breh. chill out with that, that aint us.
Personal foul 15 yards added on the end of the run.
Coach:
Man, what the hell you doing, what was the reason for that stupid sht1, (allow the kid to say something, he shruggs his shoulders or gives a dumb reason to why he committed the personal foul) ok, go over there and sit yo ass down and think about a good reason for the act, and we you have one, I'll think about letting you back in the game. we need you in the game making plays, not making costly penalties, you're too good for that. We alright though.
Bam, that's all that's needed to be said.
Talk to that player in a calm tone, J.Prince voice tone lol, No yelling or cursing, just calm so that he can feel your anger. All that yelling, you aint getting in or reaching these kids, that kid is looking in the air and off to the side because he doesn't want to be embarrassed, he on some "f this sht" prolly thinking bout quitting or just on some f this team, you've lost this kid,
But if you're calm and direct, he feels every word, sees every word that you are expressing, big difference.
You gotta know how to talk to kids these days.
