0:00 Now, I'm not going to get into the details in this video. That will be for future videos. But, here's three things to keep in mind when we're doing
0:07 practices. And I already mentioned the first one. It's being positive. Uh some people say five positives to every correction. And the point being is these kids are learning something new. How
0:17 would you feel at work that if every time you made a mistake doing something new, somebody hammered you, right? You would be reluctant to try and do more
0:26 because you felt like, "If I make another mistake, I'm going to get yelled at." Well, that's how my kids feel, too.
0:31 So, the point being is you're looking to praise anything you can find, the effort more than the outcome most of the time.
0:38 The attempt is really what we want to see. So, if we're learning something new and they try something and they don't get it quite right and they perhaps even
0:46 get upset with themselves, we're not there to help them get it better by telling them what they did wrong. Tell them that they did a good job trying.
0:53 Find some positive aspect of the thing they were doing so that they feel like, "Ooh, I got part of it right." So that the next time they try, maybe they can
1:01 feel like they can get over the next little hump to be like, "Ooh, I got two parts of this thing right." That's how you get players to grow is cuz you want
1:08 them to be willing to try something new for you.
1:12 And then, you praise them for trying the new thing and it becomes a virtuous cycle. I promise you, it really does
