Brad Stevens: Why Is Positive Coaching Important?

'Be Warm and Demanding'

As Brad Stevens states here, the most effective leaders teach athletes how to persevere and to have more grit, and to do so, it is important to find the balance between being warm and demanding.  These leaders are approachable, but on the court, there is a demand and an expectation that everyone is going to work and perform at a high level.

Demand excellence, but remember, we are still dealing with human beings with human emotions, and we have to be receptive to that.
