After last weeks game it was hard to get back into the team.
In today’s game I was a little hesitant and unsure how to bring my teams spirit back up. I knew I could not let them down. We started the game with a lot of laughter and encouragement. The team just wanted to have fun.
We lost the game, however, I could sense my team were more motivated to win a game. The competition was fuelling their need to thrive. As a coach I was really happy to see that. I just hope we win our next game, especially, since it is a home game.
Let’s see what the next game has in store
Having a growth mindset is so important for all areas of life. Your coaching helps students to focus on the joy of playing the sport and the realization that working as a team toward the win is just as important as the win and it is okay to lose.
