[QUOTE="Justplay, post: 826608, member: 74577"] A difficult conundrum... NO. Wrong on the one hand... YES. Understandable... NO. At least you eventually state that the approach isn't acceptable to you and I commend you for that. Interestingly the Coach Development Manager of the national governing body does not find the approach acceptable either and he says in an e-mail to me that they are "considering ways to develop a better mindset, however it’s a long process and will take time". So to get back to your first point, it is not a difficult conundrum. What makes this subject difficult is the mindset of the individuals that the sport is attracting to become youth coaches. The biggest problem with youth sport is that it is run by too many adults with the wrong mindset. At least you appear to have the right mindset so keep up the good work and try to educate those that want to win at the expense of trying to develop every player within their squad by giving them all game time.
