Years ago an experiment was conducted to measure people's capacity to endure pain. How long could a bare-footed person stand in a bucket of ice water? It was discovered that when there was someone else present offering encouragement and support, the person standing in the ice water could tolerate pain twice as long as when no one else was present.
Encouragement Changes Everything.
How much does encouragement help you? How much harder do you play after a teammate recognizes you for really hustling on the last play or maybe after throwing a good pass?
Encouragement Changes Everything.
During your next practice, make an effort to say something encouraging to a teammate at least once every minute. Even something as simple as "nice hustle" or "good pass." Think about it like this... if you say something positive, something encouraging to your teammates, at least once every minute (which is very easy to do), you will be spitting out 90 encouraging things during a 1.5 hour practice.
Encouragement Changes Everything.
