Original title: ABOUT EMPATHY
AUTHOR: Robert Catalucci
For many years, in our environment, it was erroneously thought that the sport of tennis could be taught through an exclusive discussion of technical and other aspects, emotional, tactical and strategic and coordinative were of marginal importance. Today we argue that all of the above should be addressed by the master of tennis so closely related and interdependent with each other in order to promote balanced growth of man-tennis athlete.
In the vision of teaching modern tennis teacher, in our view, the emotional absolutely must precede others as important as basic to achieve, in boys, a good level of attractiveness and acceptance of the sport in general and, for that matter, tennis in particular. Too often teachers neglect this wrong concept, thinking that people with whom they interact are not in touch with their emotional experience, unknowingly laying the groundwork for the rejection of the sport, resulting in premature abandonment of the activity. In this regard, it is interesting to note that the emotion is the central topic in contemporary intellectual debate, regardless of whether they are talking about religious figures or laymen.
The Pope John Paul 2nd in his recent encyclical has admirably summed up in this sentence above: "There is no learning if there is no love."
Pine and Gillmore two well-known economists, experts in human relations, in their book entitled "Experience Economy" define the term experience economy, the economy and the success of a company based on the quality of induced emotional perceptions among consumers in the public or potential customers. Products and services may therefore be thought of as "containers of rich experiences of emotional meaning."
Daniel Goleman, an eminent scholar in the social-relational psychology, in his book "Emotional Intelligence" argues that emotions and feelings are integrated in a very special rational intelligence is steeped in contemporary society, transforming it into emotional intelligence . How easily can be seen, the master of tennis, can not escape from the star of this new way of "listening" to the profession, he having to play a very delicate task in close contact with the players more fragile and emotionally vulnerable in his profession: children.
The emotional root, find the its deepest meaning in the concept of empathy (from the greek en-pathos, feeling inside). Empathy is the ability to take the role of individuals, regardless of whether we're being nice or not, to better understand their emotions, and find the most appropriate response to their wishes. Empathy is, ultimately, the art of going on stage in everyday life with style and interpret their personal and professional role, getting in touch with people. Thus was born from his own inner life, while making use of certain techniques, not a technique but an intention. As an actor, for which the diction, posture and breathing techniques are essential to play but can not substitute its pathos. It 's the difference between knowing how to act (possession of good techniques) and interpret (add the soul). The techniques of interpersonal communication (we call them containers of energy) and are only effective means of improvement, but does not convey the pathos. E'l'intenzione they are used that makes the difference. It 's so that we express our talent relationships. The teacher knows how many empathetic technical skills to adopt in contact with children, it is only his intimate personal and genuine intention to empathize with them and serve them in the noblest sense of the term, that will make him a person who inspires trust. The tennis teacher, practically, this approach needs to develop empathy towards children since the early teaching experience. The correct approach is to treat it carefully in the emotional warmth of his little pupils in the field, satisfying sense of self-esteem immediate gratification you feel when someone with little signs of appreciation. From these small steps your child gets the feeling of being in the right place, being at ease immediately. We like to compare the empathic to a master fisherman eager to make good fishing. If the fisherman his weapon love with the kind of food he likes, it is likely that fish will not take a single one. So he serves as bait, food they like to fish. With children is the same thing. If we try to make them a sermon on what we consider to be uplifting, not ever take them. The only way is to present them with something that really interests them and them emotion. The empathetic teacher must know the techniques to lead a group such as the fisherman needs to know that putting bait for the fish, the angler must also know how to bring the bait to the fish, so the teacher must know the art for such an activity chosen so that it will be accepted and bring the fruits that had been expected. The teacher should be bright, that stands out from the others, because the original, brilliant. It can not be an "anonymous mediocre." Must be able to catch the jokes on the fly to turn them over to its use, must have the courage to change a program, must have the temerity to throw extravagant things to do, but smart, must have an open imagination to discover and invent new activities, must have the humility to put into question the process of finalizing all the main objective for which children should be as close to a sport: the game.
The tennis teacher must manage the situation better education consists of students, atmosphere, teacher, exercises, creating a captivating atmosphere, pointing out that put the exercises involving student the center of the educational scenario, thus triggering the virtuous circle represented by positive-emotion-memory return.
Ultimately the teacher should be of interest to children to his person, emotional involvement, listening actively, and learn about our wonderful sport, it will be easier for them than you think, should make them "sick" tennis.
