I figured something out about being a good youth coach. You can’t worry about the winning and you can’t let anyone else worry either. When I struggled with players getting down and disappointed it was about this sense of entitlement about wins. We thought we deserved wins and we didn’t train purely for the enjoyment of that act. This season is all about running and swarming to the ball and being in the best condition to be winners.
I wish I had more to say about that, but I don’t tonight. This is one of those blogs where you spend a while trying to get into that headspace but somehow never do.
