Dear Fort Hunt Youth Athletic Association Coach, Magic Ratio of Praise and Criticism A key Double-Goal Coach® principle is Filling Emotional Tanks. A person's Emotional Tank is like the gas tank of a car. When it's empty, we go nowhere. When it's full, we can go almost anywhere. The best fuel for our Emotional Tank is a "Magic Ratio" of 5:1 - five truthful, specific pieces of praise for every one piece of specific, constructive criticism. It's a "Magic Ratio" because a team with full Emotional Tanks can achieve magical moments. Coaches should fill their players' tanks and help players' parents and teammates to do the same. |
