[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on the coach. Some will take the time to do player meetings mid and end of season. Some won’t. Some try to get to know each player to find out what motivates them and tailor their encouragement to what works for each player. Some don’t. Some would do this for free and give the same amount of energy and commitment. Some would not.

It is just like any other profession - you have some that approach it with passion, have novel approaches, and you have others treat it like a simple transaction - show up, do the bare minimum to get paid, get out. [/quote]

My U14 finally has a Coach like this.  Very much like the ones I described in prior post.  He is much older and I wonder if that has something to do with it.  Not to stereotype, but some of the younger guys dial it in as their side-hustle and are not as invested in the players/team.  Though that's not fair--my U16 had an awful 'dial it in' coach and it was a fairly high level team.  1/2 the team left this year when they found out he was assigned again.  He could barely show up and didn't seem to know anything about any of them from week to week, so inconsistent.[/quote]
