Athletes perform at their peak when they feel valued and supported by their coaches, highlighting the importance of positive coaching strategies.
Demeaning coaching methods do not foster competitiveness; they produce anger and fear, which ultimately inhibits effective performance and decision-making on the field.
Despite some athletes responding to scolding, it often leads to anxiety and self-consciousness, resulting in a failure to perform their best and take necessary risks.
The tragic irony of shame-based coaching is that it leads to second-guessing and paralysis in athletes, much like the centipede's dilemma.
