Does shouting out from the side lines really ever achieve anything positive?

 

Chapter 26 - Embrace and encourage rotation of players to play in different positions.

 

My son’s team does not give a top scorer award but every team at the club does. So I buy him the trophy myself with the club badge on and give it to him on the day of the presentation (when he is top goal scorer). I don’t see an issue with this.

 

Chapter 90 - Children are like seeds.

 

If a player has made it known that they are leaving for a new team at the end of the season and do not turn up for 5 training sessions in a row (possibly training with the new team) but still expect to play on a Sunday - would you still play them? Genuinely interested to hear your thoughts.
