[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it worth mentioning how a coach’s negative attitude is impacting the entire team to anyone in the club organization? This is a group of 14 to 15 year-old girls and it is really hurting the team dynamic, performance and many girls are suggesting they may not come back even for the spring season. I’m not referring to constructive criticism or even making real time corrections in a game- that would actually be appreciated. It is truly a shame as this is a group of girls that really like to play. I’m not even sure what the organization would do with this point as it appears it is difficult to replace coaches.  It’s just as if this man has never dealt with a teenage athlete. I’m assuming few have had success in a similar situation but thought it was worth a shot to put it out there to get thoughts.

Can you be more specific about what this “negative attitude” is? Like examples?[/quote]

- 10 min lecture telling the team they played horribly after a loss. Pressuring the girls to say what each other did wrong instead of what they could do to improve.
- stays silent/fuming half the game and screaming the same words over and over the other half of a game. The girls end up tuning him out. 
- putting girls down in front of the team for missing practice for other sports saying that’s why they’re so terrible re their performance, when he tells parents he encourages other sports so they can be well rounded
- Tells the girls how out of shape they are while bragging about how he played in high school for minutes on end instead of using that time to get a little extra conditioning practice in 
- putting down team members behind their backs to other players, causing a rift between girls

Mind you I realize I am completely biased at this point because this has been going on for a while….
