Finding Talent! — 2 Comments

  1. The biggest mistake I made as a coach was telling a player that they were talented! That was a death blow. I have also learned that while athletic skills are key to reaching the highest levels … you can be an amazing player with hard work and motivation. I am constantly amazed by those players that lack athletic skills, yet manage to win and develop into great players.

    • You’re right…labelling people is a dangerous thing! Even those who aren’t good at certain things now could be the best if they have the opportunity and time to improve. One thing I notice is that usually the best players get given more opportunities where maybe we need to consider giving everyone more opportunities and then we should find more people getting better.
