Using praise intelligently will have a positive effect on your players. Young players are usually eager to please and thrive on being told they are doing well, so here are some techniques...
ALWAYS USE NAMES
It’s important to identify players by name when praising them. It helps develop self-esteem and confidence in your players. It also lets other players identify the action you are praising so they can copy it.
TIMING
Praise needs to given at the time the action occurs so it is fresh in the memory. Waiting until after training will reduce the impact of the praise as the players might not remember what happened.
SPECIFIC NOT GENERIC
Focus the praise on specific actions. Instead of saying “that was a great attack”, be specific. For instance, “James, that was an excellent pass into space and a very good support run from you, Ian”.
POSITIVE EXAMPLES
Picking out positive examples has a far greater effect on your players than highlighting negative examples. It lets them see and understand what you are looking for in each situation they encounter. Rather than focus on the negatives when things go wrong, ask players what positive actions they would take to improve things. Players are often fully aware of what they are doing wrong and are looking for nothing other than solutions.
DON’T LEAVE ANYONE OUT
Make an effort to praise every player for something during every session. You cannot underestimate the power of a positive

I agree with all your points, David. Praises should be given at correct point of time, when required.
