Flores acknowledged the impact of his treatment of Tagovailoa, stating, 'That hit me in a way that I wouldn't say was positive. I've got to use that and say how can I grow from that?' This reflects a recognition of personal responsibility and the necessity for growth in his approach to player relations.
Tagovailoa's critique stems from his experience under Flores: 'If you woke up every morning and I told you that you suck at what you did... How would it make you feel listening to one or another?' This highlights the significant difference in coaching styles and how they can affect a player's self-esteem.
Tagovailoa articulated the damaging effect of negative coaching: 'If you have a terrible person that's telling you things you don't want to hear... you're going to start to believe that about yourself.' This underscores the psychological impact that coaching can have on an athlete's confidence.
