Coaching Award
2020 Tim Gullikson Career Coach Award(ATP)

First, tell players what to do, not what not to do. The temptation for coaches is to focus on what someone is doing wrong; that’s a mistake.
”Don’t” is a negative; “Try this”,is a positive. In frustrating times, forget the word don’t. I was coaching my daughter recently and caught myself telling her what she was doing wrong instead of building on what she was doing right, giving clear direction on what to do. I switched, and the improvement was immediate.

Also, respect the individual’s right to ask why they should follow a recommended pathway. A coach seeking high performance is looking to produce independent thinking, a strong character and a willingness to risk failure in order to ultimately achieve success.
