Comment on How to handle nasty attitudes on the Girls Basketball Team? by Joanie

I was just going throw a situation like the girl when i started to get a little big headed and stop working as hard as i use to but after reading this i will try my best to fix my attitude and not to get big headed. My couch said the same thing you said I rather have a team of hard workers and young ladies that’s willing to pay attention and follow directions. Than a team of super stars that think they know it all and won’t give any effort. That shows me that i need to get back on my game so i can be like the 3 girls going to the Division 1 schools. So once again thanks a lot Coach Jeffery!!!!!!

Thanks for the tips! I agree with setting personal goals too. Having parents, trainers, and coaches telling my daughter what to work on is wonderful, but setting personal goals fosters a motiviation from within. I believe my daughter is inspired most by her previous successes. Fulfilling a personal goals can lead to confidence which is so important esp. for an athlete!
Looking forward to more tips!

Thanks for your comment, Tony…I love the part about speaking to the players one on one and seeing what personal goals they have.

Patosha~
Thanks so much for all your advice and input. I also coach a 6th grade select team. I have found your info very helpful and it keeps me thinking from different angels. Much like you, I set the goals for the girls at the beginning of the season. We had 2 main goals, to improve and to have fun, then I had one on one conversations with each young lady on what their personal goals were. I look forward to reading and watching more on you page!
Thanks, Tony

@Skylar
Something you can try to do is keep a diary of the day before a game and game days and document which were days of good games and which were games of bad days. That way you can see if there is a pattern….

Also, understand that everyone experiences bad games and slumps…Read this article on some other things you can do when you are having a bad game http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/basketball/womens/columns/story?columnist=lewis_mark&id=5221782
