Language is a powerful tool in coaching.

The words and phrases coaches use can significantly influence an archers motivation, confidence, and overall experience in sports. Positive coaching relies on carefully chosen language that promotes growth, resilience, and a love for archery and shooting. This post explores how the correct use of language can enhance the development of up-and-coming athletes.

Positive language helps create an encouraging and motivating environment. When coaches use affirming and supportive words, they reinforce athletes' self-belief and commitment. Phrases like "great effort," "you're improving," and "keep pushing" emphasize progress and potential rather than just outcomes, which can boost an athlete's intrinsic motivation.

Constructive feedback is a cornerstone of positive coaching. Instead of focusing on mistakes, coaches should highlight what the archer did well and offer specific suggestions for improvement. For example, saying, "You did a great job with your form" provides clear guidance without discouraging the archer.

The language of positive coaching promotes a growth mindset, the belief that abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. Coaches can foster this mindset by praising effort, perseverance, and learning from mistakes. Statements like "You’re getting better every day because of your hard work" or "Mistakes are part of the learning process" encourage archers to view challenges as opportunities to grow.

Negative language can undermine an athlete's confidence and motivation. Phrases that emphasize failure or criticism, such as "You never do this right" or "That was terrible," can damage an athlete's self-esteem and create a fear of failure. Positive coaching avoids such language, focusing instead on encouragement and support.

The correct use of language also helps build strong, trusting relationships between coaches and athletes. When archers feel respected and understood, they are more likely to be receptive to feedback and motivated to improve. This trust forms the foundation of a positive coaching relationship, where athletes feel valued and supported.

Language is a critical component of positive coaching. By using affirming, constructive, and growth-oriented language, coaches can significantly impact an athlete's development and enjoyment of the sport. Positive coaching not only enhances performance but also fosters a love for archery and builds the foundation for lifelong success.

Pertandingan vs Berlatih

Biasa terjadi, di banyak kelab komuniti… jurulatih mesti tahu dan biasa… Semoga anda dapat maklumkan kepada ibubapa kepentingan berlatih & kenapa perlu latihan, mana yang dah elit, main pun mantaf maybe buleh teruskan tapi bagi yg baru2 nak jinakkan diri, biar berlatih dahulu sebelum ke padang tournament ka apa ka sebab bukan apa takut patah semangat bila tewas, lepas tu dah tak nak main dah…

Biasalah pemain ni ada yg berbakat ajar 2-3 kali da terus buleh buat ada yang kena ajar berkali2 bila balik da lupa, tempo mereka berbeza, jurulatih yg biasa dengan anak2 pasti tahu….

Dari gambar apa yang saya buleh rumuskan:

1. Keutamaan kepada Pertandingan berbanding Latihan

Barisan yang panjang “Tournament”, menunjukkan minat dan kemahuan yg tinggi pemain untuk menyertai pertandingan. Boleh je bukan tak buleh tapi, banyak pemain dan ibubapa mementingkan/mengutamakan penyertaan dalam pertandingan daripada latihan yang konsisten. Kalu da hari2 training oklah, jgn kaitkan pulak dengan pasukan elit. Ini saya bercakap dalam konteks akar umbi.

Kang ramai sangat bijak pandai yang komen & defensive. Keterbukaan utk menerima pendapat pun kena ada 🤦‍♂️.

2. Tidak Menghargai Latihan

Barisan pendek “Training” menunjukkan pemain memilih lebih untuk bermain & bertanding. Dalam level akar umbi pun ada je yang cenderung utk abaikan latihan yg sebenarnya penting untuk pembangunan dan kejayaan jangka panjang tapi pentingkan pertandingan yang mana dpt ganjaran kemenangan/medal.

Tak semua tapi masih ada segelintir yang bila dtg training mcm2 hal mungkin juga kebetulan, tapi bila ada friendly, pertandingan mesti ada yg ibu bapa yang dah bertanya dahulu. Ini semua gara2 pemahaman minit permainan yang disangkakan hanyala semasa perlawanan.

3. Pembangunan vs. Keputusan Express/Segera

Ini isu yg biasa dalam bola depak akar umbi yg mana penekanan lebih diberikan kepada kemenangan dan persaingan daripada membangun kemahiran, kesukanan, dan asas yang kukuh melalui latihan. 3 pihak yg bertangungjawab penuh, jurulatih yang melatih, pemain yang merupakan kunci kepada program pembangunan dan juga ibu bapa yang menjadi pemangkin kejayaan pemain.

Baru berlatih 1 hari pun ada yang nak terus masuk pertandingan, ini saya da rasa sendiri, jadi kita sebagai Jurulatih kena terangkan dengan jelas kepada pemain dan ibu bapa apa yang perlu dilakukan, proses etc. Ini bagi mengelakkan kekecewaan selepas perlawanan sekiranya bergaduh dan sebagainya disebabkan ada pemain yamg masih lagi belajar. Bila dah paham dan buleh membuat teknik asas dan selepas itu kita akan memperkenal perlawanan yang bermula dengan friendly bagi mengukur kemahiran pemain, kebolehan jurulatih, apa kekurang yamg perlu diperbaiki dan sebagainya.

4. Sikap & Budaya

Ia mencerminkan sikap & budaya terhadap penyertaan dalam sukan, di mana kepuasan segera melalui pertandingan lebih menarik daripada berlatih serta disiplin yang diperlukan dalam latihan.

Dengan memberi tumpuan lebih kepada latihan, jurulatih boleh memastikan pemain tingkatkan kemahiran dan kefahaman tentang permainan, yang buleh membawa kepada prestasi yang lebih baik dalam perlawanan serta kerjaya sukan yang lebih mampan dan berdaya saing.

Ok dah taubat nak type panjang2 sebab yamg panjang2 kurang mendapat sambutan!

Nanti kita sambung balik P172 ya!

Yang nak komen ini fokus untuk akar umbi dan komuniti dan ia berdasarkan pengalaman, maklum balas dari sahabat2 jurulatih!
