hypercompetitive and perfectionistic demanding coaching style, but there have been successful examples of coaches who have been true to themselves and coached very differently. For example, Phil Jackson in basketball and Tony Dungy in the NFL. I think players today relate better to a more nuanced style of coaching than existed when I was young and I definitely have seen a paradigm shift in coaching.
I think being a "leader of men" and having "charisma" has replaced the "drill sergeant" style of coaching and I think that is what you are seeing in Coach Freeman.
