[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not all kids need to spend hours on the bounce back, shooting, etc.  My kid is playing d1 ball, and I could never get him to do any of that - it wasn't fun for him, so he didn't do it.  Instead, he played a lot of basketball, football, and soccer.  In the end, he earned a spot on a team for his defensive and transition skills, most of which he developed playing other sports, not hitting a bounce back in the backyard.  [/quote]

First, congrats to your son.

Second, nobody said developing your lax skills was mutually exclusive from playing other sports.

Third, if you're trying to convince anyone who's played or coached at the D1 level that your son isn't putting in extra work, then your son is sitting on the sideline cheering his team mates on. There is a huge chasm between making a D1 team and playing. If your son is on a quality team, he understand this already. [/quote]

My point was that there are other ways to get there than wall ball and focusing solely on offensive skills (which is how several recent posters described their kid working hard).  But you are right, regardless, you got to put in the work, and your kid needs to be driven.  As an aside, I found that hanging with other kids equally as driven was a motivating factor as well.
