I'm a new basketball coach and I'm looking for some advice on how to motivate my players.<|im_end|>

Motivating players is key to a successful team. One technique you can try is setting specific, achievable goals for each player and providing positive feedback when they reach those goals.<|im_end|>

That sounds like a great idea. What are some other ways I can provide positive feedback?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
In addition to verbal praise, consider using non-verbal cues like a thumbs-up or a high-five, and also provide written feedback through post-game notes or emails to reinforce positive behavior.<|im_end|>
