New Approach

Sounds perfect. Some can imagine development. Others can imagine wins. Theatre departments are the biggest winners here.

Growth and development into productive adults should always include opportunities to fail. Without failure how do we figure out new and successful ways to achieve success? Sometimes you have to FAIL in order to SUCCEED. If we never put our kids in these situations, how are they going to learn to overcome adversity? My job as a parent is to put my kids in situations that will challenge them and help them grow. If that means they fail, so be it.
A great test of character is how a person reacts when things do not go their way, not how they react when things are always working out perfectly.
Come on people!

When I was coaching, (and I still remind my DD every opportunity as it presents itself) one of my precepts for teaching and developing players was "We Fail Our Way to Success" Meaning every time a player tries something new and maybe they do it "wrong" or make a mistake, each time is a step closer to getting it right. Thus it helps a player actually get over the fear of making a mistake and gets them willing to try stuff (foot skills, types of passes, kicks, etc.) rather than just settling within their comfort zone. We learn from our mistakes.imabee wrote:Growth and development into productive adults should always include opportunities to fail.

Oh and I recommend why just stop at eliminating the ball from the game. Get rid of the soccer goals too. Heck they aren't keeping score so why even have a "rational" Goal placed on the field, it will limit their ability to imagine the goal being bigger, smaller, some place else, etc. And get rid of those pesky sidelines/touch lines, those "boundaries" are just too limiting. And by getting rid of them parents can realize their own dreams of being right in the middle of the "game" encouraging their kid.

I heard Victor Conte and Tony Bosch are setting up a new clinic in Ontario, only now, instead of horse steroids and HGH, their PED's of choice are 'shrooms and LSD...

I have already filed a complaint for overactive imagination abuse and attacking the player instead of the ball! That ref had to be blind not to see it!
