Is Your Team Struggling?

Many NKY teams are struggling this year, from the traditional powerhouses to the teams working to earn respect. It’s tough to stay positive when nothing seems to be going right. Just a few thoughts:

• Your coaches aren’t happy about losing either. In fact, they are most likely working their butts off, spending an incredible number of hours watching film, planning, practicing and meeting to make changes to right the ship.

• As a parent or supporter of a player, the best thing you can do to help is to remind your child to give 110% in practice and games. Encourage them to work to get better to be able to help the team, being at practice on time, knowing the plays, learning techniques, staying eligible and supporting their teammates. Criticism of other players and coaches only undermines the morale and goals of the team.

• The posts on this website under the cover of user names allow those with agendas to make negative and sometimes downright nasty comments about teams and coaches they don’t like. But it’s like a train wreck, you just have to look. So, if you’re a player, parent, or fan, and you must read, then use the negativity as motivation to help make your situation better in a positive way.
