There is an inverse relationship in youth sports between focusing on winning and developing players.
You cannot do both optimally at the same time.
The more you prioritize winning, the less resources you have to dedicate towards development.
The adult desire to win puts a focus on structure & schemes, wasting valuable (and already limited) practice time that could be better spent in dynamic skill building environments.
It breeds early positional specialization which limits well rounded development opportunities for all kids.
It forces young kids into a performance mindset that inhibits creativity & risk taking.
Long term growth is sacrificed for short term results.
Remember, selection bias is what creates the illusion that players on youth ‘elite’ teams are developing at faster rate than they otherwise could be in an environment that prioritizes development.

Players: The person you are is far more important than the player you are. Your athletic talent is very temporary, but your character lasts a lifetime. What are your habits? Do you work hard? Are you humble? Grateful? Honest? Do you care for others? Character always follows you!

Wow. LOVE this new ad called “Dear Nike” by @xx_xyathletics 💗 Tomorrow is #XXDay so please join us in asking @Nike to do the right thing by standing up for girls & women by keeping boys & men OUT of our sports.
Great job @JenniferSey
