Dan Abrahams makes a point here that I think every coach needs to sit with. Shouting can get you compliance for a minute, but it comes with a tax: anxiety, less enjoyment, and eventually burnout.⁣
⁣
The better lever is constraints. Don't yell at a player to get to the corner faster, just cut the time limit from ten seconds to eight. Same intent, completely different psychology. That's not soft coaching, that's smart session design.⁣
⁣
Constraints change behavior. Fear just changes it temporarily. #shorts
