Words of Affirmation

As coaches, what we say directly effects the quality of our instruction. From positive to negative reinforcement, every word matters. 

Words of Affirmation are basically in our job description. Affirmation is defined as the action or process of affirming something through emotional support or encouragement. 

It does not take reading a blog post for any of you to know this, however, it is possible for one to over look the importance of this as a primary love language. Even above physical touch or gifts, words of affirmation could be your winning ticket to communication-ville. If you learn to read your gymnasts and pinpoint which of them respond to W.O.A. as a primary language, you could even become Mayor. 

Here are some great examples: 

You did a difficult job really well.

You handled that situation perfectly!

Thank you for .... that makes me very proud to be your coach!
