^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A PERSONAL GROWTH EXERCISE: Who is that in the Mirror? Sometimes a question that is sent to me is just too good not to pass along to everyone! Here’s a recent question that was sent to me at
Dear Susan, We have a High School Basketball Coach who is excellent at teaching the kids the skills necessary to be competitive. They respect his knowledge of the game. During games he is so intense that he hollers at specific players and it makes the parents and spectators very uncomfortable. I believe that there are better ways than hollering at kids to make them understand. Is there any information out there that would support my theory and how do we get a coach, who otherwise is good, to see our point, with out offending him? Thank You for any input. Here is my response: Hi, Well, there are lots of parenting books and books for teachers that talk about the power of using positive learning and discipline strategies with kids, but . . . My experience as a therapist is that many people who hold positions of power, such as a coach, a manager, or any type of professional, can rationalize just about any practice that they routinely engage in as being helpful in some way. This type of problem is often responded to in the wrong manner. A group of people with less power (e.g., parents, employees, etc.) than the offending individual will approach that person with a "now see here . . . you must change your behavior" lecture. I'm here to tell you that will not work. There will be such a defensive response that the individual cannot hear the message. I think that people often times do not realize how they impact others. Many adults have little insight into how the combination of their anger and the power that they hold can impact children. Managers or coaches often fail to grasp how their decision to treat one person in a punitive manner will hurt the whole organization or team. One of my favorite strategies for helping people understand how they come across to others is to videotape them. A videotape of the offending behavior forces the individual to see his or her actions through the eyes of others. My suggestion would be to casually videotape the games (just like any proud parent would), and make sure that the tape is zoomed in and rolling when the next one of the coach's suggestions/lectures/tirades (call them what you will) occurs. Then, have a parent that he respects sit down with him and say, "You are a very good coach. We think that you are doing a great job with your kids. It's just that there are a few of us who think that you might not understand how you impact the kids when you yell. Yes, it may embarrass him. It may shock him. He may say that there is absolutely nothing wrong with his behavior. However, if he is anything like most of my clients, it may cause him to tone it down a few notches in the future.
