[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frankly, I see nothing wrong with giving instant feebback or instruction at the game, coaches do that all the time during timeouts or substitution or between innings or at halftime. GK gets a lot of downtime between actions which is perfect for this, plus no practice can emulate game situations like a real game. Especially since this is rec, which is about development and learning, and especially if the coach isn't doing that, then let the parents do it.[/quote] There is everything wrong with giving instant feedback. The goal in the net is instant feedback. Keepers need to see thousands of shots to improve and learn to read the game. Your being in his ear, will do zero for his development, absolutely zero. The best thing you can do is just be supportive, and let him know that the game does not rest on his shoulders alone. But joysticking him will not make him better. Just sit in your chair and keep your mouth shut other than cheering. [/quote]
