[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]When you bench a kid for the whole game and then lose the game do you realize what a waste it was to burn that kids enthusiasm all for naught. [/b] -signed mom of D1 soccer kid who always played the whole game and never understood this mentality[/quote] not op but it depends on the age group. teh age groups that i coach, I would never do this But if i was an u16 or older coach for a competitive team, I would for two reasons. 1. the subbing rules don't train kids here like the rest of the world to prepare them to manage their energy for 90 minutes with only 3 subs. 2. As a very communicative coach, I always try to let kids and parents know where they stand with their development. At the older ages, if a kid is dissapointed they aren't playing and that bleeds into training (even when I explain why), then it isn't a kid that can realistically be developed for the next level. He/She must love training even if they aren't playing. [/quote]
