Tottenism Tuesday: Make 'Em Feel Special

OK, just one more Johnny Parker gem and then I promise to move on! ๐Ÿ˜Š Athletes will perform better for you if you in one way or another, make โ€˜em feel special! Let them know how much you care about them as a person and not just a cog in the winning machine that you are trying to produce. How you speak to them, how you listen to them, how you praise them, how you discipline them โ€“ it all goes into developing that positive relationship. A very simplistic example is one of the tricks I used in my Physical Education/Weight Training classes back in my high school teaching days. I made it a point to say something to each individual in the class and say their name as I was speaking to them and made sure I did this every day. It was an easy habit to get into and reaped big dividends in how the class performed. Even little things like that can โ€œmake โ€˜em feel specialโ€.
