Many of us learn how to do things by following the example of others. We learn many things by imitating our parents, older siblings, and others whom we perceive as being more knowledgeable than ourselves.And when it comes to coaching, the people many of us learn from are the coaches we had when we were players. Often times that's a good thing. Coaches can be very influential in our lives. Unfortunately, that influence of coaches can also work the other way. If we had a mean, nasty coach who always put players down, treated us unfairly and made our lives miserable it's very easy for us to pick up that behavior.
