he concept of motivational coaching
is simple... Decide what is
important to you as the coach and for the team, and then find a way to make
the same things important to the players. The ultimate purpose is to get
players to play better, to perform at their peak effort, attention, and behavior.
Is offensive rebounding important to you? Find a way to make it important to
the players. Is recovering quickly after a mistake important? Being a great
defensive team? Having a great athletic attitude? Being a focused and
motivated team, a teachable spirit, being unselfish, etc. etc.? Then you must
help players see the same vision that you do.
