I came across this blog today and thought I would share the link, may excellent points in the blog some of which have been discussed on this forum.
Practice makes permanent
Key points i got from it :
Must teach proper technique from day 1, practice of poor technique makes poor technique the memory , I am sure we all have had kids with poor technique and the challenge of rewriting that habit.
Coaches and parents play a big role in helping foster the players love for the game, create an intrinsic passion that drives them to practice,
Be cautious of being overbearing , extra practices, academies etc... being driven by extrinsic forces is one of the main reason players drop out
While these may seem like common sense , they don't happen enough... and today's kids unfortunately live in a world of over bearing parents, parents who just want the best for the kids, yet forget to ask the kid if he/she really wants it....
