[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suppose there's a sweet-spot in between playing to your team's (and your individual players') strengths to win, and playing to develop your players.

Over the years, my children have been on some teams that rotated players throughout the entire season, and sometimes went a whole season without winning a single game; that's demoralizing for kids.[/quote]
This is only possible if either the coaching is appalling, or there is a huge difference in player ability which the coach/club should have been well aware of when putting the team together.  A good coach can happily rotate players between positions and develop players and the result will be an improving team which absolutely does not lose all its games, and indeed wins more frequently as the season goes on.

A poor coach of course can rotate players without developing them and provide equal playing time,and his teams might lose every game.

no coach will turn away a great player because the rest of the team isn't at their level. As you move down, clubs with no cut policies may have very uneven bottom teams. In both cases, a coach has to balance winning vs playing time for the rest of the team [/quote]
