What Are Emotional Tanks?
Responsible Coaches keep players' "Emotional Tanks" full. What do we mean by this? A person's "Emotional Tank" is like a car's gas tank. When it's full we can go anywhere we want to; when it's empty we can't go at all.
Players with full Emotional Tanks give Responsible Coaches some distinct advantages. Players with full Emotional Tanks are:
- more coachable and likely to listen and respond without resistance
- more optimistic
- better able to handle adversity.
