the gospel from Dave Crowell, imo maybe the nations best high school wrestling coach, 39 years, currently Nazareth PA. Taken verbatim from Pennsylvania Coaches Convention website.

Nazareth Head Coach Dave Crowell did a phenomenal job presenting on 3-D Coaching. They break coaching into 3 dimensions; physical, psychological, and heart. Crazy statistic: 85% of coaches only teach the physical dimension (technique, strength, condtioning, etc.).

Only 10% teach the psychological dimension and 5% the heart dimension, yet most of the team problems (motivation, confidence, character, values) are in the 2nd and 3rd dimensions. If you want to be a better coach and impact lives in a more positive way it is essential to find a way to implement dimensions 2 and 3.2.

Dave Crowell discussed 3 things that kids need which will lead to more motivation:
a. Place to belong
b. Something to believe in
c. Someone to believe in them.
Coaches are the #2 influence in athlete’s lives outside of their parents.

I think a lot more than 10% talk about all three components.

They may talk about it, but many actions don't back it up.

Or they may talk about it but the physical dominates 99% of the time.

I think psychology and heart are Tervel's specialty. I was sorry to see him leave tOSU. The Nebraska announcers were saying he has made a positive impact there.

I agree about Tervel but by and large I haven’t seen a lack of heart out of this team.
