Is there a magic ratio of positive to negative feedback and reinforcement? I cannot imaging tracking exactly the number of positive to negative comments. But maintaining an awareness of the need to build up before you tear down and understanding that you need to earn the right to be critical of a player is of utmost importance.
The Positive Coaching Alliance is a tremendous resource for guidance on how to develop that awareness of your impact on the kids. I am very happy to report that we will have a formal relationship with PCA in the coming year and will be conducting a workshop with their staff for our coaches and parents.
Check it out....this is just one of hundreds available...almost all good.
