I coach D3. The majority of my team are sophomores and the season has just started. I run a strict practice and have not seen any concerning behaviors among my team. No rude or demeaning words & no superiority or power trips. However, I am hearing rumors about toxic behavior regarding teammates outside of practice. I have had multiple meetings one-on-one and in small groups to facilitate conversations and emphasize my behavior expectations. This seems to give short-term results because within a couple weeks I am hearing of new toxic behaviors. How do other coaches address this and put it to rest in the long term?
