    1. I appreciate your answer. I agree, discipline is necessary. Obviously, some coaches are better at it than others. Its value is often revered. I have found a balance, when struck, causes players to react almost instinctively to disciplined coaching. As it is said, disciplined players work more effectively and efficiently.

      However we can't forget, if it is used single handedly, one can get the wrong idea and be too heavy-handed. My question is where does the synergy between coach and player exist? What is that pivotal point where a balance is struck that allows players to trust the structure but not feel repressed?

    2. The answer to that question lies in finding ways to make sure that the athlete, or athletes, know you CARE about them. Many when asked what they so liked about the best coaches they have ever had answer that question with this: "They truly cared about me."

      You demonstrate to athletes that you care more about them as people, and what happens to them beyond the playing field, and you will find them reaching levels of coacability, and levels of performance, that you did not think possible.
