Elite Soccer Honors
the Game! by partnering with the Positive Coaching
Alliance (http://www.positivecoach.org/).
The ROOTS of
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 embarrass our team
- Self - We live up
to our own standards even when others don't
The three themes
of Positive Coaching
- Redefining
"Winner": 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.
- 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.
- Honoring the
Game: This gets to the ROOTS of positive
play
