\nThe series continues where we discuss the traits of the BEST teams and players: the 7Cs!
\nToday we talk about being Courageous.\u00a0Being courageous does not mean never having any fears or self-doubt. It means recognizing those fears and either letting them go or finding your way past them. Then, and only then, can you\u00a0play fearlessly.
\nToday we discuss…
\nWhat it looks like when players and teams are courageous:
\n
\n* They’re diving and going all-out
\n* They’re confident and show it in their body language
\n* Everything seems to come easily
\n
\n
\nWhat it looks like when they aren’t courageous:
\n
\n
\n* They hesitate, even if just for a second
\n* They get quiet
\n* They seem tense and unsure
\n
\nWays coaches could hurt their courage:
\n
\n* Having negative body language and reactions to a mistake
\n* Punishing for mistakes that are out of their control
\n* Not focusing on the reason behind consequences
\n
\n
\nWays we can give them more courage:
\n
\n* Push them in practice first
\n* Get them used to the pressure
\n* Know each player’s needs and how to push/support them
\n
\nWhat worked best with Alicia’s team last season:
\n
\n* Working on it and discussing it every day
\n* Exploring what playing fearlessly means and looks like
\n
\nPlus Alicia’s tips for coaches to maintain composure all season.
