This goes for warts on your own body, as well as other’s warts. Avoid direct contact between a wart and areas where you do not have warts. Touching unaffected areas may only spread the virus – places where you have cuts or scrapes or where you shave are especially susceptible. If you do come into contact with warts or with surfaces that have been touched by someone with warts, make sure to wash your hands and any other exposed areas carefully with soap and hot water. Help keep warts from spreading elsewhere on your body or to others by covering your current warts with a bandage or clothing. This can help minimize direct contact with the wart while it heals. Tools such as pumice stones, razors, nail files or trimmers, and any other object that comes into contact with an infected area could spread the virus. This can include things like towels, too. Be careful sharing or borrowing tools from someone currently treating warts.

summary: Avoid contact with other warts. Cover current warts. Be careful sharing grooming tools.

Instead of just offering negative criticism, offer specific suggestions and recognize your players’ effort.  For instance, instead of saying, “You didn’t kick the ball properly,” say “That was a great attempt, but next time, try kicking like this,” then show the player the proper technique.  Use compassionate language when criticizing a player and put yourself in their shoes. Keep criticism brief and to the point.  Don’t hammer away at a player about a mistake they made.  Instead, point out their error, offer a correction, then move on. Acknowledge your team’s effort when they meet goals and milestones.  For instance, if your team wins a game, tell them how proud you are. In addition to pointing out occasions where players could do something better, draw attention to the things your players do well.  For instance, if your goalie makes a great save, praise them by saying, “Wow, great save!” or “Nice work!” Don’t sideline your players who are not performing as well as the rest of their team.  The specific action you take to help a player improve depends on what their issue is.  For instance, sometimes players just need to hear a technique or strategy explained in a different way. If a player is having a hard time with a certain movement, you could get your assistant coach to work with them in a special session. Soccer teams vary widely in their experience levels and abilities.  Identifying what your players are (and should be) capable of will enable you to tailor your coaching style to your players’ needs.  Teens and adults are more capable of learning new techniques and modifying their behavior than kids. Children of different age groups will have different levels of understanding.  Even within a given age group, individuals have different strengths and weaknesses, so set your expectations accordingly. Kids under 6, for instance, should be oriented toward having fun and building positive social interactions with you and their teammates.  Your main goal with kids of this age is to get them to kick the ball in the right direction. Help kids who are 7 to 10 years old develop a stronger sense of team play by encouraging passing and back-and-forth drills with the soccer ball.  Emphasize the importance of team victory over individual achievement. Players who are 11 years old or older should be able to learn more complex tactics and plays.  They can also more easily accept feedback and correct their technique.  Drills, feedback, and instructions for older players can be more complex than those for younger players. Do not use foul language during games or practice, and don’t second-guess the referees.  After the game, shake hands with the coach of the opposing team, no matter the outcome.  Insist on all your players shaking hands with the opposing team. Setting and achieving a series of small goals can improve your team’s confidence and, hopefully, help them win more frequently.  You could set goals within either a practice session or a game.  For instance, if you’re coaching a group of teens, you might ask every player to score a goal from the penalty spot during practice. You could also set a goal for your team to score at least one goal during each game, even if your team doesn’t win. For instance, if you have a player who gets easily discouraged, they might require a lot of encouragement and verbal praise before they can develop and find their role on the team.  Other players might overconfident and require more criticism than their teammates.  An undisciplined player might respond best to increased pressure and challenges.  For instance, if you have a player who tends to not give the game their best shot, you might tell them “Pick it up!  Move faster!” Some players might have physical challenges that you need to adapt to.  In such a case, focus on what the player can do, rather than what they cannot.  For instance, if a player gets tired easily, put them in a goalie position where they will not have to run great distances. Observe your players carefully to determine how you can best help them flourish.

summary: Offer constructive criticism. Praise good performance as often as possible. Help underperforming players improve. Have reasonable expectations about what your players can do. Encourage good sportsmanship by setting a positive example. Improve your team by setting small goals and meeting them. Adapt your coaching style to individual players.

Sticky notes can be very helpful for organizing yourself and your house in a number of ways. If you find that you have developed a confusing tangle of cables behind your TV or computer, and it always takes some painstaking work to discover what cables is for what, sticky notes can help.  Tear or cut the note down so you just have the adhesive strip left, and then write down the name of the appliance of each cable, “TV,” “DVD,” “Stereo,” etc. Then wrap the label around the appropriate cable, taking care to fasten it tightly in a ring around the wire. If you live in a shared house, you may want to label your food to make sure that none of your housemates eat it. Sticky notes are ideal for this as you can quickly and easily label your supplies just by writing your name on a note and attaching it to your eggs, milk, or anything else.  Try to have some restraint when it comes to labelling food. Labelling absolutely everything can seem somewhat over the top. Consider just labelling a few key things that could easily be mistaken for somebody else’s. Sticky notes are a convenient and easy way to leave notes and reminders for people you live or work with. Write down a reminder to pick some milk on the way home from work, or that the electricity bill is overdue, and stick it somewhere prominent.  Research has shown that people are actually more likely to respond to, and act on, a message or request made on a sticky note than communicated in some other ways.  It is thought that sticky notes work so well because it is more personalised. It is also harder to ignore as it sticks out from its environment. Seeing a note stuck on the fridge may make you want to deal with it so you can take it down, and free the fridge door of mess and clutter. You can use sticky notes to make a colourful, visually engaging, and flexible plan or schedule for everything from work, to study, to household chores. If you are making a schedule for everybody’s weekly chores, you can write up each chore on a note and arrange them in groups. Once a task has been completed, the person responsible can tear down the note.  You can use notes to make meal plan so you know what you will be eating through the week. This could also help you to realise if you need to buy any ingredients. Using sticky notes to make schedules and plans allows you to move around the meals or tasks. You can easily reassign a task to somebody else, or change the meal plan.
summary: Label your cables. Mark your food. Leave messages and reminders. Make a colourful schedule or plan.
