23. You Don't Have to Punish Your Dancers - The Power of Positive Reinforcement

Whenever I discuss the negative side of punishment, and why you should always avoid physical punishment I get questions about what to do instead. The focus is usually on the side of consequences. Coaches want to know, how do I get them to stop doing that bad behavior? How do I get them to listen, how do I get them to work hard, how do I get them to remember everything. Punishment is only part of the equation. I believe the flip side, focusing on positive reinforcement will have a bigger long-term benefit and it creates a very different team climate. So in this episode I'm explain how to shape the behavior you want in your dancers using positive reinforcement __________ Did you enjoy today's episode?
