You better shape up or else. I m sick and tired of you screwing up. Don t react to a situation--Act. Act with a preplanned strategy. For example, my favorite to acknowledge an error in judgement is to say,  I thought you said that youwanted to be an eleven? Then pause.  What would an eleven do? Pause.  We need you with us. Can I count on you from now on? <br><br>This strategy corrects the situation with a positive resolve with the athlete to do better. Normally, athletes react with a lot of self guilt. No need to rub it in. Always leave the encounter showing that you care. A firm handshake and a smile is an eleven way to do it. <br><br>HANDLING CONTINUAL PROBLEMS: This can be a team decision made at the same time as the goal. Just ask the team,  What if someone just won t be an eleven and is constantly making bad decisions. What if someone just doesn t care to give what it takes? As they are thinkng about these questions, then ask,  Do you want me to handle them or do you wantto try to handle them first? Usually, they will want to handle them. This strategy can evelop strong leadership and even greater commitment.<br><br>I would recommend you have captains or senior leaders. Communicate on a regular basis. Ask,  How are we doing? Do you need any help? Always relate the positive things you see going on. <br><br>USE EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION: This will enhance and fortify the goal and the three steps. Always give praise. Say things like,  You know what you are? On a scale of one to ten, you are an eleven; or that was an leven thing to do. The BFS Set-Rep System is a phenomenal way to use extrinsic motivation. First, all athletes break at least eight personal records per week. This is great by itself but you can also give awards for all kinds of things: most records broken, biggest gains, most improved, etc. Use t-shirts, caps or other things the kids can earn. However, as this is done, always refer back to the main goal. For example, say,  Becaue of your hard work, we are closer to our goal. Here is a shirt to represent what you have given to that goal and our team. 've been able to upgrade our facility and our equipment, and all this has given Kevin and Jesseca the opportunities to accomplish what they have. Our athletes are able to travel to the meets and get the necessary national exposure.<br><br>BFS: With the WAC having expanded to 16 teams, how has this affected track and field?<br><br>LJ: The Rocky Mountain schools have always been traditionally good in the field events and the distance events because of the altitude, and the Texas schools have some of the best sprinters in the country. When you combine them you've got one of the toughest overall conferences in the country.<br><br>BFS: Are any of the WAC schools still recruiting elite-level track athletes from foreign countries?<br><br>LJ: You still see a little bit of it, and it makl"<@keE&~Æ6(7[iV͛_>Ό6zO,G5 fVJSƲYޟ\1\}Z+=cI=8bF$SPEZ; FQ?
