[quote=Anonymous]We have had this issue with almost every coach we have had. It comes down to coaches sometimes lack the ability to explain. When they say do X. The kids always want to do X, but what the coach meant is - when such and such is happening, do X, but in a different situation I need you to do Y. We have figured this out by carefully asking what happened when he said to do X and what was happening when he said to do Y and explaining the difference. The coaches are not realizing that at U8 to probably U15 level the kids have not developed the situational awareness to figure out you have to piece together when to do X or Y. We have only had a couple of coaches over the years who have figured this out and explain it like they are talking to an actual child who is still developing intellectually and is still actually learning the game. Film review really helps with this and not enough coaches do film review. When you find a good coach, stick with them.[/quote]
