THINGS I'VE LEARNED FROM COACH (#19)

COACH MEYER: "Teach with dignity. Soft rain is absorbed more than hard rain. Hard rain tends to run off."

Understand that Coach Meyer is not saying that there is never an instance where a coach raises his or her voice. But you can raise your voice without being insulting and making the criticism personal. There are also times when not yelling can make a difference which brings us to another Meyerism: "Whisper criticism and yell praise!"
