I attended tha AFCA conference this past week. The one thing that resonated with me the most was the mention of non verbal communication , and how impactful it is. how the players or coaches for that matter , their approach to everything can have such profound impact throughout your entire program
Coach Fuente mentioned during his talk , with an accompanying video of GAs when at Memphis, demonstrating both positive and negative examples , as did the coach from Coe College , who mentioned how much it screams. One of the most frustrating parts about coaching is the body language that players bring . Almost like they have to be dragged from one place to another . So one of our goals here is to change that. Was wondering for different was to combat that. We do model the behavior and stay on top of it. Just wondering what you guys think or if you guys have to deal with this too. I have a tendency to get a tad bit sarcastic and negative when this occurs , so looking for more positive approaches The video Fuente made I thought was great . We are going to try to show that ( if we can get it) or re-create it Thanks

There are some things that the kids have to know from day one. I worked for a coach that would model what was considered to be "good" behavior in our program. It was things like praising loudly and hustle (the head coach would run to the ball carrier with the players). However, there were instances (ex. complaining about a bad call with an official...players and assistants were NOT allowed to do this) where it was "do as I say and not as I do." These situations would not come up often, and if they did, the HC would rarely lose his cool, but everyone has their days. The players respected and fed off of his energy. Most importantly, he provided a good example for his expectations.
