“People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care”Theodore RooseveltIt's a very simple and basic concept. Good coaching is all about communicating that caring to your Athletes. Athletes who feel respected by and cared for by their coach will be more motivated to work hard for that individual. Conversely, those athletes who feel that their coach doesn't care about them, will not have their heart in what they do whenever they ski. How do you show your athletes that you care about them? You take the time to notice when they show up for practice. You get in the habit of regularly catching them doing things right and then you point it out to them. Your job is to build an athlete's self-esteem, not to tear it down. You treat them with dignity and respect. You make sure that your actions and words say the same things. In other words, you walk the talk. You treat them as individuals and not just athletes who have to ski for you. You are honest with them. You are fair and don't play favorites. Don't worry that your athletes will go get soft on you if you behave this way. Too many coaches are under the delusion that to build mental and physical toughness you have to be hard on your Racers. You will consistently produce much more aggressive, motivated, and higher-performing athletes when your actions and interactions with your athletes consistently demonstrate that you truly care about them.
