In the latest episode of series three Pez & Geoff answer more questions sent in by parents and coaches along with discussing some of the chapters in Pez's new book (Did You Win, Did You Score...?) The questions are listed below.
I love players that can go past other players and mavericks of the game. Do you think this country will produce more flair players in the future or has the game changed now…?
Chapter 3 - Embrace Mistakes and Failure
I’m a coach for an U8s team and in training I play lots of small sided games. The players don’t really have set positions and it’s all about contact time with the ball and having fun. However, I have at least two players who tell me that they’re not allowed to play in goal when it’s their turn. One even said “my dad will kill me!”. It leaves me in an awkward position. I just wondered what your thoughts on this are?
Chapter 40 - What to do if your child wants to quit
I had a brief run through the chapters in your book but I am unsure if there is anything on dealing with on field ‘trash talking’ from opponents? this has occurred a few times recently to my youngest boy and has made him very upset and in tears. I believe it is just a tactic to get under his skin and affect his performance. Any help would be appreciated in how to block this out mentally.
Chapter 114 - Don't be a PlayStation parent
How late is too late to join a grassroots team if you’ve decided you want to play professionally? I have a 13-year-old who’s suddenly decided that’s what they want to do and is all they talk about.
