The Coach's Corner / Development |
|
The whole premise of whether it is about winning or development is flawed.
It assumes that they are mutually exclusive. Players are developed in practice,
not games. We practiced 2-3 times a week and played a couple of games a
week. Practices were fun and I dare say more fun than games. There are numerous
opportunities in a well-run practice for players to take reps at any number
of positions. But more importantly, we laugh and joke and they learn. They
learn to love the game and their teammates.
