Maybe its time for BOTH coaches and players to think about changing for the better.

Sometimes, its really HARD to be positive.
When they just disappoint you
Sometimes, its really HARD to be enthusiastic.
When they just don't care about you
Sometimes, its really HARD to be supportive.
When they take you for granted

When they are not focused
Sometimes, its really HARD to be goal oriented.
When they are not listening and heading towards the goal
Sometimes, its not really that HARD to be knowledgeable.
But they don't listen.
Sometimes, its not really HARD to be observant.
But they just ignore you.
Sometimes, its not really HARD to be respectful
But they don't respect themselves.
Sometimes, its really HARD to be patient.
When they just simply gets on your nerves by doing stupid things
Sometimes, its not really HARD to be clear.
But they just don't listen
Sometimes, its not really HARD to be assertive.
But they just rebel against you.

My personal conclusion is that all these theories are bullshits. You can read them, but I doubt they can help much because, these were written in a favorable situation. Its like the ideal situation where everyone dream for.

These theories can't do shits if they are not even listening or putting in effort.

Then it still comes back to one single question.
HOW MUCH DO THEY WANT IT?

If they want it, then all these theories will comes in place, if not, just read for a good laugh.

SERIOUSLY, why am I doing this?

Started on a few books about coaching. Learned quite a few things, decided to keep a record/reflection after reading one or two chapters everyday. (This should be able to keep my blog alive for quite some time)


These books that I'm reading regarding coaching are being written with the corporate office as the set up. But I guess it should be applicable when it comes to coaching cheerleading. Because basically, it works on the same basis that you're guiding, leading, or raising up someone.


The book started with saying that the employee believe that they have a good idea about how their companies could be run more successfully, but only 38% think their employers would be interested in hearing those ideas.
Thus making the employees' ideas - MOST WASTED RESOURCES

Quoted from Effective Coaching by Marshall J.Cook


Firstly, I would like to say thanks to those has always been there to provide me with necessary assistance and help and advices. Without you guys, I strongly believe that I would have already given up.


The first chapter on the book basically states these 10 questions that every boss, mentor, coach, leader and etc should ask themselves.

1.) Do you ask for your employees' opinions?
2.) Do you listen to your employees' suggestions?
3.) Do you take your employees' ideas seriously?
4.) Do you value your employees' opinions?
5.) Do you check with your employees before making decision that affects their work?
6.) Do you defend your employees in a meeting of supervisors?
7.) Do you explain goal clearly when giving your employees a new project?
8.) Do you welcome your employees' questions about an ongoing project?
9.) Do you give your employees latitude in deciding how to carry out a project?
10.) Do save criticism for a private one-to-one sessions?


I have added in possible questions which a cheerleading coach should be asking him/herself

1.) Do you ask your students for opinions/feedbacks? Listen, value and take their ideas seriously?
2.) Do you ask your students before making decision that affects them?
3.) Do you defend your students in front of other cheerleaders?
4.) Do you explain what kind of expectation you have on them or what is expected from them? If you do, were you SPECIFIC?
5.) Do you allow your students to question/doubt you?
6.) Do you criticise them in front of their own teammates?


Many times we expect our students to do this, to do that.
Many time we want our students to do this and to do that.
BUT ! Have we ever asked ourselves, what do THEY WANT?

Some reflections to be done, AGAIN.
I don't have an answer for your problem.

Stay tune for more !
