Give a positive, then a negative, then a positive. But Jen teaches us a more productive version of that method. Bonus: it also teaches players how to communicate with each other. \ud83d\ude42 Once they figure that out, you&#8217;ll have even more voices helping drive the team forward!<br />\r\n<br />\r\n<br />\r\n<br />\r\nTo make it more productive, Jen suggests you do three things. First, you have to give your players a voice in the feedback first. What&#8217;s more empowering than that?! Second, help keep the focus on controllable, changeable critiques. Third, always begin and end with what you&#8217;re doing well. This makes sure the positive things stick in their minds. If you do these three things consistently, you will see your team grow at least 1% every day.<br />\r\n<br />\r\n<br />\r\n<br />\r\nIf you want more resources and support for empowering your athletes to truly LOVE the game,","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/561879c4-8029-4c1a-8b3a-a310fbbf981e/podcast.jpg"}
