It's easy to spot a good coach - energy, passion, enthusiasm, dedication, connection with their athletes, knowledge...and it's just as easy to identify a Terrible coach.
1. Terrible coaches "Tell and Yell" - they don't listen to their athletes or learn from them.
2. Terrible coaches impose their motivation on their athletes - rather than listening to them and taking time to understand the motivation of the athlete.
3. Terrible coaches talk in absolutes - they speak in terms of "always" and "never" and "musts" instead of creating, innovating and developing new and effective ways of helping athletes to achieve remarkable things.

Motivating n insulting is big difference problem solve . Keep doing the same thing expecting a new result is insanity . The main goal is to win the ball game even if we lose every game

I see this in little league. The great teams have the players talking more than the coaches. The sucky teams are the coaches yelling at the athletes and the athletes are not talking cs they’re just looking at their coaches for approval

This fits all to my running coach. That coach would have it out for me, humiliate me in front of the whole group, make me question my own perception of things, negate everything I said, portray me as a failure, would not check in unless I reached out first, would have no patience, would give no advice about recovery, fueling and cross training unless you asked very specifiy (how a new runner’s supposed to know what to ask in the first place is beyond me), and would ultimately leave me discouraged and so sad. Especially after one tempo session, the others in the group were so shocked that they would come and comfort me afterwards. I remember one very teary train ride back home and contemplating to stop running. I’m glad I didn’t. Paid a lot of money for this lesson though.

Thanks for your comment. Makes me sad to read stuff like this. I call it "old coaching" because for too long we've placed too much emphasis on physical training and not enough on the person we're coaching. Our job as coaches is to lift people, to show them how amazing they can be and to believe in them. Sorry you've had some bad experiences - but don't give up on what you love doing.

I am a national level table tennis player(women's category) but the thing is I'm not even 15 yet... I used to love the sport until the last year when I finally got my first gold in nationals. From then on my life has been hell. My coach puts so much pressure on me. Everything I do is wrong. Humiliates me in front of other student's parents, talks shit about my family all the time. Recently after my final exams, my family forced me to go to a family function because of how many I've missed and due to that I missed 3 days of coaching and my coach made me feel like shit because of that

Thanbkjs for your comment. The only advice I've got is to do what you love - for the reasons you love it. Stay closely connected to the reasons why you play table tennis - and remember we "play" sport - it's something to be enjoyed. No matter what anyone else says or thinks - your sports experience is just that - yours. Keep focused on doing it in a way that makes you happy and everyone else can do and say whatever they like. Make it all about your enjoyment of the sport you love.

Sad but possibly true. Coaches can change the world - I believe in the power of great coaches and good coaching to make a positive impact on the lives of everyone they coach.
