[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always tell my players “the effort is non-negotiable” before every game. It truly is the one thing you can always control.[/quote]

My biggest pet peeve when watching a game are the players that just don't seem to care.  They play with zero passion.  Sometimes they are good players, but they don't have the drive.

There are a few on my kid's team that I would like to run out on the field and give a good kick in the a** or yell what my dad used to yell at me when he coached me and I was slacking  "you want to go sit in the car?!"  This is for middle schoolers/high schoolers, btw, not 8-year olds:).

The other pet peeve are the kids that can't stay on their g-damn feet.  There is one kid on my son's U10 team that is literally on the ground 95% of the game.  When my kids were playing rec and they did that, my husband and I would yell 'get up'.  My husband always told them that you are ineffective on the ground.  My dad turned to us at what game and said "he just got knocked down hard do you think he has springs on his a**? :)"  But, by the time they started travel they pretty much never went down and when they did they were right back up (barring major injury).

The smallest kid on my son's U10 is the toughest.  It's near impossible to knock him off the ball and I've seen him take some brutal hits and get right back up.  He stands up for himself too--somebody pulls him down by the shirt or aggressively grabs him--you better watch the h*ll out.  Some of the big ones on our team have a "major injury" anytime they get a hard tackle and have to be carried off the field.  There is never anything wrong. They could earn Oscar's for that acting.  You soon learn which kids are crying wolf all of the time.[/quote]
