Years ago I coached a young player who was confrontational and uncoachable. She was athletic, talented, and unselfish on the court. She was disruptive. She ultimately went to a charter school and became an all-league player in two sports. What changed? Her mother said, "she finally figured out you were trying to help her."
Maybe I didn't say, "I want to help you" in a language that resonated.
