Echoes beyond the game: the lasting power of a coach's words | Coach Reed | TEDxCincinnati

[cooperm]

That is my dad and I can say proudly say he is the best coach that ever lived in Cincinnati

Thank you for this. I’ve been looking for that quote ‘it’s not the skills you teach, it’s the words you use’

[pushuptostrong]

Thank you for this speech, this video. I needed this so much to make a decision about my daughter's coach.

Finally someone said what we've all been secretly thinking about our coaches!!!

Coach Reed's presentation succinctly and clearly puts into words a topic that has had much discussion amongst coaches, players, and parents for decades. It brings the topic to the forefront for those whose echoes are negative in nature and provides encouragement to those who have consistently strived to keep their impact exclusively positive. Hopefully, this will become required viewing for coaches in many organizations!

So true, brings memories of being trained by a coach that basically encouraged me and made me feel elevated, my football game went up a lot.

[RunDatBaccTurbo]

Coach Reed is right, the lasting power of a coach's words can benefit or harm a player's confidence and willingness to improve in any particular sport. From my personal experience when I was a soccer player, my high school coach didn't believe in me, called me names and wouldn't even let me play even during scrimmages. I basically sat on the bench in the hot sun and trained for nothing it hurt me in such way that i basically quit playing soccer since then and I don't even believe in myself anymore 🙁

This short video is nothing short of amazing. And these words reverberate so much further than the sports field or court. But more importantly, to the classroom.

Thank you for making a difference. I hope your words reach and resonate with our youth sports coaches and make a lasting impact. We need to continue reminding coaches of their real purpose - great job!

I'm friends with your daughter & she emailed me this video. I've shared it everywhere I can & I really wanna help this video spread especially since I did soccer until 7th grade!!! Best wishes!!!

Reed - great talk. Hope all is well! I am currently teaching a course called Religion and Sports at The Catholic University of America in DC. We talk about the power of sports to elevate both competitors. This term, I'm showing my students your talk here in addition to the talk from Jim Thompson and the Positive Coaching Alliance. Well done! Go Bombers!

Wow Coach Reed! What a great talk and incredible opportunity for you! Sorry that I am just now watching this! I have been out of town for a while!

[ThePhilStoops]

Fabulous. And enjoyed hearing you on Sirius XM FC this AM.

[ricardox]

Excellent! Great talk. And I am not just saying that because Reed is my son's soccer coach. Way to go Coop!

[immiek]

Absolutely fantastic talk. God bless you. This is lived experience. I will utilise this exponentially. You are spot on on so many levels its ridiculous thank you for sharing :o)

[tomasplayz]

Watched this as my son has decided to drop out of soccer because the coach yells at him so much he just can't take it anymore and he's their best player

[patrickweizman]

Great talk. If we only had more soccer coaches who understood this!
