Yeah Rasta but when you use that form and that's how you have to get it out of them you have to keep using it .
A lot of wrestling coaches will chew a kids ass when he loses,I don't cuz I know he isn't hearing it anyway,I make HIM tell me what he did,I KNOW then he's thinking about what I need him to .You can yell at 120 decibels but if they aren't listening you're wasting your breath.
I admit I'm a nerd about that stuff and haven't got much football experience coaching , but I managed people for 45 years and tried every kind of motivational style I could imagine or read about and found that the less I yelled the more they hear the quieter I talked the harder they tried to listen, coaching was a sideline but I loved it and if it had paid well enough I'd have given the rest up .I love you guys hahah. i posted this just to make fun of Atlanta and you guys get all philosophical about coaching styles. Well Played.:cheers:

If he can't take that little bit of criticism they might as well cut him now. Geez.
Problem with that stuff is it has a short shelf life,each time you use it it gets less effective until it becomes apparent that's as far as you can go.
There are two major forms of motivation faith and fear, fear diminishes with familiarity faith grows,but hey there are some people who can't be reached one way so there ARE times that theory X is appropriate,just seems to me the Atlanta asst. coaches are total theory X .
So I'm not in complete disagreement with ya on this.
Competence,respect.Fear as a tactic is definitely short lived. Would love to hear more about the 'faith' side. How do you instill that?
Hence the name "Lazy"? No offense intended only you would know that,just sayin', FWIW though I didn't pass out false praise either so I never "showered with compliments" people catch on when they are being conned too.Poor guy didn't look like he was having fun. I guess not every one responds well to criticism. I'm more productive if someone is criticizing my work than if I'm being showered with compliments. Something about being told I suck really lights a fire inside.
Been a few bumps then,but I'm satisfied ,didn't mean to dump on my old man though he has a military facility named for him so within the military way he was pretty effective he knew when not to chew ass too.Thordaddy, it sure sounds like you and I have been down the same road and cut from the same cloth.
Did I just set a record for run on sentences???????????????????????
