In 50+ years of coaching being positive first then correcting is so important to enforce the mind set “I can be good at this event”!
HS kids have many doubts about who and what they are or what they are going to be that being critical all the time can destroy any self confidence they have . Positive first the key !!! took me 10 years to learn that. #5 In competition emphasis on competing and go get it !!!!! The meet is too late to work out technical points . Key words like explode ,lift ,stay back ,stay down ect work the best. Very good point s coach.
