Kids today are not the same as you.  The sooner you recognize their differences the quicker you start effectively coaching.

The men and women who coached you would find it difficult to handle the kids you coach. Here’s why:

a)  No More Play for Fun ñ I recently stood in a high school gymnasium where a sign read  ìNo Unsupervised Playî.  Today’s young athlete usually plays little league sports under the supervision of adults.  Sand lot baseball and pickup basketball are disappearing faster than analog televisions.

b)  Attention spans nothing.  Kids labeled with attention deficit disorder (ADD) defiantly dare you to coach around their condition while blaming their lack of focus on your lack of skill.

c)  Work ethics are not a given.  A young person who stays on task and can work for any extended period of time is the exception rather than the rule. Their capacity for work comes from you not with them.

d)  Quick and Easy ñ Instant fame, quick cash, and everyone gets in for free is the culture our kids worship.   Your challenge is to teach those kids how to develop skills knowing they will miss kicks, drop passes, or fall short the thousand of trials required for athletic excellence.

e)  You owe it to them anyway.  When everyone gets a trophy and the pictures look the same me what is the point of  competition?
