[quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't think that PP is saying he tells the kid he did the right thing when he did the wrong thing, but compliments some other aspect of play. Maybe the player loses the ball due to a passing it straight to the opposition. But it took a lot of hustle to get there in the first place to get the ball. You could tell the child, "Way to get there." "Good run." I don't think anyone is screaming great pass when the pass goes out or flying straight to someone on the other team.[/quote] I disagree. No kid should be chewing out a teammate, and a coach or parent should be correcting that. But unless the kids are U9s and U10s, they know when they messed up, and don't want to hear false compliments. It is totally fine to be silent, it is not always necessary to speak, unless you intend to talk to the mean child's parents one on one about appropriate behavior afterwards. Don't say something fake to the kids, they are kids, not idiots.[/quote]
