In this episode, we delve into the critical balance coaches must strike between permissiveness and authoritarianism. We explore the reasons coaches may lean towards permissiveness, such as the desire to win, avoiding conflict, and fostering a positive environment for players. The discussion highlights common justifications for accepting subpar performances and behaviors that don't meet team standards, including concerns about mental health and player happiness.
