Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2529975, member: 1847"] Anyone else think this is important, well ... relevant? I forget where this came from but I used the general ideas. It worked well for me getting the best out of players who just didn't put in. Good coaching inspires players to believe in themselves is by continually putting them in situations which challenge their limiting beliefs, always pushing them outside of their comfort zone, physically, mentally and emotionally, and then helping them discover that, in fact, they can do better than they first believed they could. The “GET COMFORTABLE BEING UNCOMFORTABLE principle.” That is, the only way to grow physically and emotionally is to constantly challenge yourself to do things that aren’t easy, to attempt things that truly stretch you. You do not allow players to just get by with the status quo. You don't tolerate mediocrity in effort, attitude, technique, training or performance. There is nothing more motivating to a player than being challenged, experiencing themselves successfully rising to meet that test and as a result, improving. When coaches fail to adequately challenge their players, when they instead allow them to remain stagnating within their comfort zone, they will ultimately end up losing them to boredom and apathy.
