The video below is worth a watch. It is on Praise. The last 20 years of my career, there has been a huge emphasis on praise in education and coaching. The Positive Coaching Alliance says our ratio of Positive to Critical statements to our athletes should be 5:1. They have data to back up that ratio.
The argument goes that praise helps improve self esteem and strong self esteem is good.
Recently there has been research into both self esteem and the use of praise that puts that theory into question. It seems that there are types of praise that are more effective than other types of praise.
The below video uses the work of Carole Dweck to explains the most effective types of Praise if you are interested in getting your athletes to change and improve.
