Whaddya Want? A Co-Conspirator or A Drill Instructor?

The dentist doesn't yell at you for moving the wrong way while working on your mouth, so why does the tennis pro yell at you for not moving the right way?  Both mistakes can cause you pain and possible loss, yet they are treated very differently.  No one wants a drill instructor for a dentist so why would they want one in a tennis pro?In this episode, we examine the energy these two types - their motivations (control?) and how they impact other co-teaching pros, students and the facility.  We also speculate as to why people would choose and stick with such a pro - higher visibility or instantly appealing (an emotional purchase?) - and what it would take for them to change.Could it be the drill instructor is more visible than the co-conspirator pro?  Could it be the drill instructor seems appealing on the surface but then their coarseness overtime is emotionally or mentally stifling?  What kind of a mixed message are we sending to kids who interact with these pros?  On the one hand, we're telling them the tennis club is a place to have fun and learn a cool sport but in practice, many times, we're putting them into a situation with coaches who are trying to "produce" a product (a competent tennis player) using a drill instructor mentality.    Hopefully we've helped.  Thanks for joining us on our journey!www.tennisrockers.com
