Yeah adults will bag each other over a mistake but I teach my kids NOT to do it and hopefully they grow well as sportsmen.
Yes players of mine go through to our version of College and some have been snapped up by USA high schools and colleges. So I have a mixture of kids from self motivated to under motivated.
As the lesson we see above if I have a kid that requires constant pushing to succeed then he will not succeed long term. We as coaches need to find that part of him that can be leveraged beyond himself.
Parents, don’t start me on that!
