10. Deal with the Behaviour before answering any Questions

12. Directing

13. Commanding

18. If you make a face,raise your hands in defense or scowl, you’ve probably lost them already. Watch how you talk with your hands and don’t let a coach use his hands to talk to you.

19. When a person talks with his hands it appears there is more going on than a simple discussion about a simple play. If you see a coach waving his hands, simply ask him to put his hands down before you are ready to listen to his message.

21. Address the problem only (No emotions)

24. “From my angle that is how I saw it”

25. “I will watch for that”It will not help matters if you tell the coach that it is not happening

27. “You have a good point”

28. “I’ve heard you”

29. “That’s possible”By listening first and then responding to what they said, there may be some closure after your words

30. Answers to Coaches If a coach is yelling or shouting at you tell the coach you would be glad to talk to him but he has to lower his or her voice and then you can address the issue.

31. DEALING WITH CONFRONTATION Remember, 90%of conflict occurs not with what was said but by the TONE it was said in!
