Coaches' Impact
- Coaches have a significant impact on players, good or bad.
- Their role is often misunderstood and undervalued, even in professional settings.
The Waiter Analogy
- Use the "waiter analogy": Bad service ruins a good meal, just like a bad coach ruins a good sporting experience.
- Players remember negative coaching experiences more than other factors.
Bad Coaching Experience
- Dave Keelty had a negative experience with a rugby coach who was critical of his performance.
- This led him to stop playing for four years and shaped his view that coaching is more than just technical skills.
