Why Significant Playing Time Is Important
“I’m not sure what you need first – the players believing or others believing in them – but in the end, both have to think it.” Jurgen Klopp
I experienced both sides of “everyone plays” equation when I was in high school.
My football coach went to great lengths to include everyone. He had only a couple of guys playing both ways, and he always found a spot on a specialty team for the younger players.
My basketball coach, however, was more of a 6-7 person deep guy. He thought nothing of putting a player in for the first time with 15 seconds left in the game just to give him “varsity” experience.

Why Perfect Practice makes Permanent
Training Skills & Techniques for Young Youth Players
I was visiting with other senior coaches, and we were discussing the teaching of skills and techniques in training sessions. We were all in agreement that teaching skills & techniques have been forgotten at the young youth levels. Favoring having players and parents “think” they are having more fun just playing in a scrimmage. We all agreed skills and techniques need to be taught. What fun do the players have when the ball is taken from them, and the other team then runs away with the game?
