Coach’s Personalities

Many coach’s have distinct personalities. I had the typical high school coach that yelled and screamed at the top of his lungs every time something bad happened. It is very rare to find a calm and patient successful coach. Mostly all coaches are extremely high tempered but they have to be in order to get their point across. The coaches have to develop a player’s mentality of mind over matter. Coaches also focus on mental toughness. For example, if a player cannot handle a coach yelling at them, how could they handle being run over by a 300 pound linebacker? However, coaches have different methods of teaching. Some will be willing to commit to some one on one time while others make the player find it within themselves. The life of a coach can have a big effect on how they act outside of the game. Some still have that same temper and it affects their every day lives.
