Thought help: My basketball coach constantly screams and yells at me and my team.

My basketball coach constantly screams and yells at me and my team.

It has gotten to the point where I cannot have a single calm thought during basketball games. I told her that she yells too much. But nothing has changed. How do I develop some confidence and not let her cruel words bring me down?

Take a tape recorder and safely hide it somewhere near her during a game/practice. Afterwords, take the tape and let the principle listen to it. If you’re too afraid, at least let your parents hear it. If it’s serious enough, they will do something.

Yeah that could help the yelling problem, but I still need to learn how to deal with not letting hurtful words get to me.

What type of hurtful things does she say?

ahh for example she was talking to the jv coach on the bench and she said, “senior posts, senior posts, they all suck! i should have cut them all because jv can play better than the can.” now to the average person, this may not seem that bad. but i am a senior post and i have college coaches trying to recruit me so i know i need to not suck. when she says things like that, i don’t perform my best.

believe me i know what your talking about, My football coach was a @sshole.
Some coaches just don’t know how to motivate without all the expletives.
I would ask a parent to sit in on a practice, If it’s a closed practice tell em to hide. But definitely DO NOT be the one to approch your coach about this. It will only make it worse. Good Luck pal.

True.
Because if you’re complaining to him, he’s only going to make things harder on you. That’s why I suggested talk to a parent or principle.

The tape recorder is foolish because itis not going to help anybody out and you take to show someone most of the time you are not going to win unless they say something like real mean

i feel where you are coming from because i got a coach just like it and you really cant let words get to you as much as because the truth of the matter is that you are only messing with yourself and you are letting it get to you take chances say something mean back to him/her and they tell somethinglike get out and dont come back just walk out dont say anything
