I have come to a frightening conclusion
I am the decisive element on the field.
It is my personal approach that creates the climate.
It is my daily mood that makes the weather.
As a -------, I possess tremendous power to make my /an athletes life miserable or joyous.
I can be the tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration to myself and others.
I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal my self and others.
In all situations, it is my response that decides
whether a crisis will
be escalated or deescalated
and an athlete humanized or dehumanized.
