About this ebook
A concise, applicable definition of a positive athletic attitude for coaches at all levels. The definition is broken down into teachable parts with each section having a series of questions for the athletes on your team. The last twelve pages of this booklet are dedicated to how coaches can work with challenging athletes – the fear of failure player, the quick learner, the slow learner, the low confidence athlete, the overconfident (arrogant) athlete, the unmotivated player, the mentally weak player, the “bad attitude player”, etc.

About the Author
Teach Attitude First
A positive athletic attitude can be taught and it is contagious
Positive attitudes come from positive experiences. Having a good athletic attitude means having positive belief and action about the game, the team and themselves. Attitude is a choice, but often one that has to be taught and molded. Once taught, players at any age can be held accountable for the attitudes they choose to display. Most young players will enter your team without a clear understanding of what a good athletic attitude
is. An athletic attitude must be clearly defined, taught, expected, and assessed. As a rule, attitudes are much more within the coach’s control than the talent level of his athletes and therefore should be an area of focus throughout the year. Sports are voluntary (both to play and to coach) and no one should be forced into playing. Effort and attitude are also voluntary. They are choices that only the individual can commit to on their own. At the conclusion of the athletic experience, a good attitude will be more helpful than any physical skill.
For the athlete to understand and learn attitude, they need clear a vision, and positive-demanding models. Knowing early and often exactly what behaviors are going to be accepted and what behaviors are not, will help every player. Describe in detail exactly what attitude
means on your team - and clarify each descriptive word - effort, poise, unselfish
