Hard Work

Times are difficults. Do we have to play or compete?

We are going to have kids that are growing up... Our competition is going to be more difficult. We have to start to teack our kids to work hard and compete. Players who PLAY bring skill; players who COMPETE bring everything!

We have focused so much on playing that we haven’t taught players to compete, to fight, to work hard or to have the will to win. I am using "we" and you could say that I am the coach and it is my responsability but I need also your help for juggling and motivation etc...

Players lose motivation and confidence when the “work/play” is no longer easy. We haven't seen hard work only with few players.

Research is clear that constant praising of children’s innate ability (athletic or intellectual) can prevent them from living up to their potential. On the other hand, studies show that teaching young people to focus on effort rather then ability helps make them high achievers and competitors in school, on the field and in life.

Et voila, I may re-implement the patches in order to make them compete during practices, juggling and everything else...
