You're spot on in every detail. Keep spreading the word. I'd like to make mention that it's important for coaches to recognize and be aware that not all children learn in the same manner. There are three basic learning styles: 1. Auditory - hearing the information 2. Visual - seeing the information 3. Kinesthetic-Tactile - touching, participation Most kids are a mixture of some or all of the different styles. However, if a coach only presents their information to the children in only one manner, two thirds of the group may not comprehend or fully understand what the coach is saying/doing. It's not because they are not paying attention, it's because the coach isn't presenting the information in a style in which the child learns best. What's worse is the coach then gets frustrated with those particular children who he/she deems are not paying attention and before you know it, he/she is talking to them in a frustrated tone of voice or tells them to do pushups, which you addressed s accurately in point number two. I love your article Dave and I love what you are doing. Keep up the amazing work. The world needs more people like you. You're a great asset to children and coaches everywhere.
