They "survive" the 'tough' training, they don't thrive under it.
The "tough/hardass" coaching model occasionally works on the HS/college level because athletes have no control.
It largely fails on the pro level because athletes have more autonomy & understand their value
Pro's want to be treated as people, not subordinates.
Why? A thread:
They "survive" the 'tough' training, they don't thrive under it.
1. Feel like you belong
2. Feel like you can make progress
3. Feel like you have some control over your life (autonomy)
That doesn't come from a coach or someone dictating and directing. Over the long haul, it has to come from within.
Over time, you erode self-motivation and have to replace it with something else, or else you lose people.
That something else if often more extrinsic motivation.
A high chance to win supplements some of the lost motivation, temporarily at least.
But as I said, you have to replace that loss of motivation provided via autonomy with something. And that something often is short term.
They found that having an "abusive leader" as a coach changed the trajectory of players careers.
They had more technical fouls and worse performance over the trajectory of their career.
Players trajectories, in terms of player efficiency metrics, shifted downwards

But no one did. 20+ comments in people discussed the morality or bad sense or libertarian perspectives. Someone even said I’m thinking about doing that. No one said what I thought was obvious. Have you thought of it? Is it obvious to you?
Here’s a clue...recognize it?
How about this?
