As a coach one of the greatest dilemmas is how we can be completely involved & perfectly detached at the same time.
I tend to get very involved in the lives of the players that I’m coaching & still to this day think that there is a very fine line between getting enough involved to truly make a difference for the player & then being too involved so the player looses the respect for you as a coach because you have become too friendly.
I haven’t got any definitive solution or a formula that I follow – How do you guys go about that fine line in the Coach-Athlete Relation?
