#253 Rapid Responses 8 | feat. Coach Sheldon | [Full Episode available on PATREON] - a podcast by Crown Refs

This episode is the 8th installment of our Rapid Response series, which is designed to help arm your tool belt with ready and effective responses for ANYTHING a coach throws at you.  In this session, we hit on some powerful themes like:⁣
⁣
𝟭. It's more important to establish respectful communication guidelines than it is to provide a good explanation about a play.⁣
⁣
𝟮. Hence, be sure to prioritize the most important topics during your conversations (ex. if they're screaming about a block/charge play, we need to address the scream before the block/charge)⁣
⁣
𝟯. The Power of Complimenting the coach when they are speaking respectful is a great way to stroke their ego while indirectly setting professional expectations⁣
⁣
𝟰. The Power of Complimenting your partner over a call while you're near the coach's bench is a way of showing unity while providing assurance and reinforcement that the call was correct⁣
⁣
𝟱. Officials need to get out of their comfort zone and realize that if the coach is yelling at any member of the CREW, then they are yelling at YOU. ⁣
⁣
𝟲. Many officials will not address the coach unless they are speaking directly to them.  Being a great partner can be uncomfortable sometimes but having your teammates back through thick and thin is always the right thing to do.⁣
⁣
𝟳. It's imperative that the table side official act as a de-escalator if the coach is shouting across the court.  Many times, the closest official to the bench can play a pivotal role in properly managing the coach's behavior⁣
⁣
We touch on all of these topics and much more on during this 100-minute communication session. We hope you grow from this!⁣
