Use one-sided games as opportunities to try less skilled players in more challenging positions. Show your own enjoyment of the game to your players. Goal 2 - Teach sport specific skills, rules, and strategy to our players. Rely on positive reinforcement for things done correctly. Minimize negative emphasis on mistakes, which are required for learning to take place.
Players can handle only so much negative feedback at a time without becoming discouraged.
Players will learn more, try harder, and be more open to accepting criticism if they are praised often. Praise players in public, correct them in private. Provide adequate repetition of teaching. Learning a sport is complicated. Lessons often need repeating before they are understood.
