Confidence comes from within.

“Don’t give me the power to affect your self esteem and who you are as a person.”

“Don’t let me control whether you’re going to have a good day or not.”

Coaches have numerous goals - to put players in a position to succeed, to add value in your personal and sport-specific development, and to get 'buy-in' to the program. 

Coach Lawson sends a message that her coaching should never devalue you. Coaching isn't bullying. No coach should call players 'worthless' or 'useless'. 

Players have ups and downs. So do coaches. Coaches ask ourselves whether we're doing everything to encourage success. And players, do an inventory of your skills and trajectory to confirm that you're headed upwards. 

Lagniappe. Video study. Watch the arm position, swing, and core and the coaches addresses the off-arm.
