Impact of Coaches
I have come to a frightening
conclusion.
I am the decisive element on the field.
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 a player'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 a child humanized or
dehumanized.
