Great quote for coaches and parents

"I've come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the gym. It's my daily mood that makes the weather. As a coach, I possess a tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or de-humanized."
