HCSA is a partner with Positive Coaching Alliance and is working hard to create a culture that "HONORS THE GAME" and gets to the ROOTSof positive play.
Rules -We refuse to bend the rules to win. Opponents -A worthy opponent is a gift that brings out our best. Officials -Show respect even when we disagree. Teammates -Never do anything to embarass our team. Self -We live up to our own standards even when others don't.
The THREE Themes of POSITIVE COACHING: 1. Redefining "Winning" A Positive Coach helps players redefine what it means to be a "winner" by emphasizing the ELM Tree of Mastery - where ELM stands for Effort, Learning and bouncing back from Mistakes. 2. Filling Emotional Tanks A Positive Coach fills players' "Emotional Tanks" with encouragement and praise, recognizing that players need full tanks to play their best. A Positive Coach strives to achieve the 5:1 "Magic Ratio" - 5 praises for every 1 criticism. 3. Honoring the Game This gets to the ROOTS of positive play.
