IMPACT OF COACHES

I have come to a frightening conclusion. 

I am the decisive element in the gym, on the field, or in the yard. 

It is my personal approach that creates the climate. 

It is my daily mood that makes the weather. 

As a coach, I possess tremendous power to make an athlete’s life miserable or joyous. 

I can be the tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. 

I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. 

In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and an athlete humanized or dehumanized.
