But LGL did do the same serves over and over again for hours
I guess in the west, what we need is our kids/juniors to have is self discipline.
If the coach or adult is not around, are they mature enough to self discipline themselves
My 14 year student has become more mature lately.
She is doing her own physicals (2 to 3 hours every day) and coming to ask me questions about it. She even just told me she can now do 18 double skips in a row - I am impressed.
The "lazy" one which I mentioned above is not my student but I can tell you she hasn't touch the bat in 2 months (since season ended) and if there was physical training, she somehow disappears to the bathroom very regularly.
I agree life is about enjoyment, but as a sport athletes, training is tough, its hard work, it is pain, it is long hours, it is sacrifices.
I just watched the movie "Greater", about Brandon Burlsworth.
I guess that is what I am talking about.
We lack that in today's youth.
They only want enjoyment by sitting on the couch, with junk foods and ipads/smart phones
