The impact you have as a coach or as a player.

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.
