I'm going to kind of go against the grain here....I do think a coach's demeanor can affect team play. If you get some nervous, unconfident and unenthused type in there as a leader...it will have a negative impact. On the other hand, a confident, competent inspirational coach will get the most out of their players.

As for the rah rah cheerleading types, I don't think that works at all.




There's a difference between being saddled with a leader that nobody has confidence in, and choosing a leader because he's a Rah-Rah kinda guy. Totally different things. If you don't have confidence in who is leading you, that can and will affect morale.

Conversely, however, a guy simply being a Rah-Rah type isn't going to accomplish anything. It might look great in cut spots on TV and make for good sound bites, but in the end, if your motivation isn't coming from within you will NOT remain motivated. Period.


Browns is the Browns

... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

I don't think that is inconsistent with what Purp and I are talking about at all. I view what you are talking about as leadership, not motivation...
