The best players we've ever had were blessed with families that weren't in a rush. They allowed their child to create passion for the game & it directly led to work ethic. They weren't the best players at 12u, 13u, or 14u but they developed grit that other players were shielded from. Their parents allowed them to fail, didn't save them, kept pushing them to work & show up. Most talented players at a young age never come to fruition bc they are late to learn how to fail, create work ethic, & parents thinking they are God's gift which in turn creates complacency. We all know the kid that was shaving at 12 & was an absolute stud but when everyone hits puberty & the field dimensions change everyone forgets about that kid. Give me the small kid with heart, hustle, work ethic, & attitude all day long and let's see what happens when they are 17. He will be the most physical dirt bag kid there is, that every coach loves to coach & needs on their squad. 👊🏼
