As a coach, I need to stand on my principles. However, it's my obligation to keep the sport fun. I'm a hard nose coach and expect the best from everyone I coach......I was taught not to wear my feelings on my sleeves. If my coach told me to run through a steel wall, I would try to do it. I expected everyone I coached to be like was. Truth is, they are not. I have some thoughts, but I'm looking for some help. I'm trying to soak up all the knowledge I can get.
How do you keep your team together when you have talented wrestler/player who don't give the max effort on a regular basis?
How do you deal with wrestlers/players who mouth off?
How do you deal with talented wrestlers/players who don't buy into your program?
How do you motivate these wrestlers/players w/o kissing their butt, or losing your principles?
How do you convey your message w/o losing them?
