Coach Bingle is very good at motivating people who can use scare tactics to perform well. People who need to be told that they are doing well and that need an emotional connection with their coach don’t do as well here. Some people I have seen thrive when Coach tells them that their spot is on the line. Others fail.

He is unethical, and you can never trust anything he tells you by word of mouth. His method of motivation is instilling fear into athletes. He claims that all coaches coach the same way, but the athlete ultimately makes or breaks performances. He loves to take credit when things go well, but refuses to take any responsibility when things don’t.
