Positive Coaching Helps Kids Be Happier

At Stricklands Martial Arts we pride ourselves on the training our instructors go through to instill positive coaching habits. As educators, the team at Stricklands Martial Arts, are dedicated to giving our students, the learned skill set to live their best lives. We are dedicated to helping them recognize and realize their unlimited potential, through the life skills and martial arts programs we teach.

Positive coaching is an essential aspect of supporting and developing our young warriors. It goes beyond simple instructions and critiques, and involves creating a supportive and encouraging environment that fosters growth and development. Positive coaching has a number of benefits for children:

  • Boosts Confidence: Positive coaching helps to build confidence in young athletes. When children feel supported and encouraged, they are more likely to believe in themselves and their abilities. This increased confidence can lead to improved performance on the field or in the gym, as well as better decision-making and problem-solving skills in other areas of life.

  • Encourages Effort: Positive coaching encourages children to focus on effort, rather than just results. This mindset shift can help to reduce pressure and stress, and instead motivate children to work hard and improve. When children feel that their efforts are being recognized and appreciated, they are more likely to continue working hard and to persevere in the face of challenges.

  • Develops Character: Positive coaching helps to build character in young athletes. By focusing on effort and improvement, children learn the value of hard work and dedication. Additionally, positive coaches can help to instill positive values, such as sportsmanship, teamwork, and respect. These values can serve children well not only in their athletic pursuits, but also in their personal and professional lives.

  • Improves Performance: Positive coaching has been shown to improve athletic performance. When children feel supported and encouraged, they are more likely to take risks and try new things. This can lead to improved performance and a willingness to embrace new challenges. Additionally, positive coaching can help to reduce anxiety and stress, which can negatively impact performance.

In conclusion, positive coaching is an essential aspect of supporting and developing our young warriors. It helps to build confidence, encourage effort, develop character, and improve performance. Our instructors at Stricklands Martial Arts are trained in positive coaching in their interactions with our young warriors in order to help our students reach their full potential.

Being a student is tough work.
