Hi all.
Im pretty laid back when it comes to our sessions. I like to let the kids have a say in what we are doing, fun first etc.
We are u10s and lose most weeks. I preach development first, so this doesn't matter to me and most of the kids don't let scores bother them.
Recently, Ive noticed a lack of effort from half of the group in training. Sat chatting + play fighting instead of committing.
Any ideas of how to approach the 'put in effort' without coming across as a tyrant.
Ive planned a chat to ask them WHY they come to training so then we can circle back to their answer - which Im hoping the majority will say 'to get better'
My second worry is, actually follow that up.
If at least half want to get better, but some other dont and they carry on as they are....what is next? Im not in this to punish kids but at the same time, Id love to see them improve?
Thanks alot
Darren
