Good and Effective Polo Coaches That Win ON and Off the Field
Skill Development (Effective Polo Coaching):
A study at Nottingham Trent University (Nottingham, UK) found that polo coaches improved people's skills to understand their environment. Researchers conducted a test on situational awareness and found that polo players could detect ball placement much better than others as an indication of higher skill development. Polo Psychology
Values and Coaching (Good Polo Coaching):
You may want to read an article by Dr. Alen Goldberg on being a good or a bad coach. Good Coach vs. Bad Coach. The article highlights how coaches should walk the talk. One doesn't want to display poor behaviors or inadvertently encourage poor behaviors in players. Good coaches foster positive values within their teams that create a type of team cohesion through consistent pro performance practice.
Thus we find that coaches maintain positive sportsmanship values and enhance peoples performance skills. That is not the case in all sports and/or coaches. The younger the players, the more important it is for them to develop certain values and abilities.
Good polo coaches can develop the person as much as the player's skills. When coaches focus exclusively on skill without valuing sportsmanship we create toxic teams that won't succeed on or off the field in a consistent manner.
It is my belief that poor and/or toxic coaches should be removed from teaching young minds no matter how many games they win. Their goal is to develop the whole person. We want to see healthy and well developed sports players that win in live as much as they do on the field.
Escanaba Polo Mallet Company is a good works start up that not only makes great mallets but does things like support the game of polo, donate to charities, offers exposure for polo clubs/events, and helps communities by fostering entrepreneurship. Your support by purchasing our mallets and future equipment is helpful. https://www.escanabapolomallet.com/

Escanaba Polo Mallet Co. Supports Gifted Children to Be Unique Beyond the Herd
There are times in our lives where we must make choices. We either follow the herd or we move on in our own directions. It is hard to judge these things from the outside because people are often unfamiliar with all of the dynamics involved. What we can say is that the vast majority of people will follow their social networks and they are biologically, socially and psychologically conditioned to not question their environment.
 |
| Herding Mentality |
While a certain amount of following is normal there are some things that cannot be followed and doing so creates a moral hazard. The breaking of certain values and principles breaks down the moral fabric of society.
That difference in when to follow and when not to follow may be difficult for the average person to "see". For example, gifted people with higher levels of intelligence, ethical development and inner emotional lives often find dichotomies in life that others can't see.
Stepping outside of social expectations is difficult and takes a deeper core value system and the strength to stand up to what is right. Gifted individuals use their feelings and their brains to make decisions in complex and often difficult to understand ways (Gifted success paths). They draw upon many different resources to make their neurochoices.
If we take a look at gifted individuals we often find that many have rubbed against society in one form or another. In history the most profound are often exiled, punished and/or worse because they don't see eye-to-eye with powerful people who don't question their social structures (Think hemlock and Socrates or Voltaire and exile, etc. ), . Gifted people look beyond the obvious as a psycho-bio rooted behavioral characteristics (See Traits Gifted).
Why is it important to understand?
Herds create stability in society and gifted people push all the buttons to make it a better society. If we were to zoom out to the "birds eye" view of the patterns (another thing gifted people can see better than others) of society development we would find on a macro level that they actually work together. One challenges the norms (its not about just challenging everything) and the other changes and solidifies on new ideas and concepts (creating stability through customs and norms).
Each time there is something radically new it is usually the gifted people who see it first and they take risks for their keen insight and deeper value systems because others are unaware. Most of their concepts are discarded because they are not conventional but we someday find out 5, 10, 15, or 30 years later they not only were correct but also were "in the ball park" in their solutions/understandings way before others even knew there was an issue.
One of the best ways to keep society adapting is to respect differences in people, listen, and find places where changes may occur to keep society moving forward. This is one reason why Escanaba Polo Mallet Company supports gifted children (along with a few other charities) to help fund opportunities to enhance our best and brightest beyond the herd.
As a nation we should be thinking of trying to push our society forward to be competitive but limit ourselves to herd understandings of group confirmed solutions.
Saturday August 6th 2022 Orphan Donation Event at Santiago Mansion (Donating a Mallet)
Some of our mallet profits are donated to this organization. I encourage others to consider donating to orphans as well. There are few other charitable causes that are better than this.
You can gain more from their site. We just donated a custom polo mallet. If you have a business you may consider donating something as well. Now we need to send it to them.
I might actually be there this time. :) Checking my schedule. Wear all white!
Escanaba Polo Mallet Co is a good works start up that not only builds awesome mallets but also donates a large percentage of our profits.

Poway July 2nd 2022 Polo Games
I have been out to the Poway Polo Fields a few times. Nice facilities and you can stable across the street. The price to stable used to be like $300 with hay but that was a while ago. You can gain some more information at https://www.powaypoloclub.com/ Looks like they are having a few games over the 4th of July. If I was around I would have attended.

Two Features Your Going to Love About Our $99 Mallets
Our two favorite features of our mallets are 1.) Quality and 2.) Price
1.) Quality: We are very unique in the sense that we make our mallets from a slightly different construction. We used bamboo and hardwood. No one else can say hey have mallets like we do. The quality is high, its under a few pounds, and holds up to abuse.
2.) Price: Our goal is to offer mallets under $99 with free shipping in the continental U.S. (We are just starting the process of shipping overseas so if your interested in that please let us price it out
at escanabapolomalletcompany@gmail.com.)
There are four ways you can buy a mallet and that is 1.) directly through the site. 2.) Ebay 3.) Amazon and 4.) Facebook
Escanaba Polo Mallet Company is a good works start up that not only makes great mallets but also donates much of its profits to charity. We also teach others about start-ups and discuss some of the road blocks small business owners face when starting their own businesses. https://www.escanabapolomallet.com/
