Chp. 7 Reading

     The start just really struck me cause I can always remember playing sports and in any situation there was always a person that need just needed that extra boost. Now some of the coaches would just hammer on that kid but negative influence is not the way, now for me when a coach rode my hinde end I didn't want to get better because I didn't want to get yelled at, No I did it inspite of that negative attitude so that it wouldn't been show again. When dealing with teammates I always found it useful to be positive and that a smile is a good tool to encourage people to do better because I think it builds up confidence and doesn't tear it down. Surprises a good thing to keep people appreciated and wanting to excel more whether it's a something the person can have or just a joke. Unexpected postive notes just have a way of making things less tense. When tension is down, tension not the samething as pressure in my book, things are more managable and easier to deal with and people strive to preform well. When a person excells to keep them feeling that what they accomplished was important and detrimental to the cause recognition lets them know the standard of excellence that they have met or exceed so they can do it again. Not only that I liked how being with the team celebrating or even being with them in a down time is a great thing. It builds that bond, the bond of trust needed so that everyone knows that everyone will do their own job so they can focus on doing the best they can do. Being with the team opens people up and gets them involved and I liked how it said that after it's all done that being with the team is a reminder of what the team was put here for.
