Re: Eade rants upset players

But did it make you play better, go out on the field more motivated? Or do you just hate your coach?

Umm, probably the best example would be our '06 prelim, we were 2 goals something to their 5 goals at three quarter time (very low scoring, we don't usually do that bad..in case you were wondering), and so we obviously needed to outscore our last 3 quarters. She tears us to shreds, 'you've got hips so f***ing use them' was used a few times, and so on. I didn't go on in the last quarter, she made no changes during the quarter, but we ended up kicking three goals and a few points to their 0.0, and at the end of the match we were all so happy that no-one cared what she'd said.

And when your boss screams at you does that make you go, well I really need to pick up my game or does it make you go, gee that guys a prick?

My point all the way through is that ranting and raving just isn't the most effective way to motivate most people. Sure it's got a place and it might make us feel better to see Eade going off when we play badly. But it didn't appear to help the players out much. Screaming at players seems to be the bastion of a coach who doesn't have anything left, nothing else to pull out of the hat. The coach should be the last person to be overly emotional out there. He needs to be the one who stays calm and sees things clearly.

Stay calm and see things clearly i agree.But its the coach who runs game day and the team needs to get behind him.

Giving a team a spray like the example given by Dales_girl38 is one thing, continually singling out certain players for a spray and ignoring other players who are just as deserving is another thing. Young Cam Waite went down hill towards the end of last year, a strong contrast to the way he finished off the 2006 season. He is a young developing player, that needs his confidence built up - not crushed.

Excellent point. I thought Wight was primed for a solid 2007 but in real terms he slipped back a bit and I think it was a lot to do with a lack of confidence.
