[QUOTE="Peat, post: 828114, member: 42330"] I personally have no problem with people lambasting British youth sports coaching. I tried football, I tried cricket, I tried rugby, and by and large I'd say we'd have underskilled coaches who rely on having everyone run around then hope the best players carry the team on the day. The idea of playing everyone as a strategy is alien. And when that is the case, there is a certain obligation to give some game time (imo) to those turning up. I'm all for putting the team first but loyalty is a two way street. The average British youth sports team does very badly at that. That said, for the last game of the year, with the league on the line? Just go and win it. If everyone's part of the team, that's what everyone wants. And if there's people who feel hard done by and not really part of the team, that's not the moment to rectify it. [/QUOTE]
