Coaching Feedback

Coaching is tough because you must be mentally and spiritually wise. Through the years, we have seen coaches who think they are amazing but who are harming athletes with their criticism, and immaturity.

Here is the best barometer you can use as a coach: Are your players more inspired, motivated, encouraged, talented, and better people after time with you?

It's true that unhealthy athletes and parents make coaching difficult. Toxic relationships are incredibly challenging to navigate. Toxic: gossip, backbiting, grumbling, criticism, anger, rage, hostility, pouting, sulking, name-calling, apathy, disrespect, lack of listening, selfishness, cruelty as honesty.

Health: speak the best, believe the best, receptivity, flexibility, compassion, respect, encouragement, inspiring, enthusiasm, energy, vulnerability, and kindness as honesty.

The more toxic your team, parents, and administration, the more outside counsel and help you need. Toxicity is dangerous to navigate in isolation. Look at yourself: Does your feedback create more energy, inspiration or does it create more mistakes, fear, and frustration? Are you giving feedback or are you giving criticism?

We want to say thank you to all our NBC Volleyball Coaches who are incredible at providing feedback and who bring a spirit of enthusiasm and hope to the Volleyball community! Fantastic job!
