Coaches are simply facilitators.
Instead of trying to prescribe solutions for the players, we must do our best to guide them towards possible solutions by creating environments that ask for them.
They must learn how to seek space and then exploit it at all times.
Always interfering and showing them where it is and telling what to do once in it, will only hamper their vision and decision making.
The real magic unfolds when the players are the ones who are in control and the coach in a guiding role.
Brennon O’Neill.
Arguably the best player in college lacrosse today.
The size he is and how well he is able to move is what separates him from the crowd. Couple on top of that with an incredible stick & feel for the game, Brennon may be headed towards a Tewaaraton.
Check out a few highlights from last spring in Durham.
A Quote about Sport.
“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to unite in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It’s more powerful than government in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination.”
- Nelson Mandela, former president of South Africa & champion of sport (1918-2013)
