I coach seniors sometimes. I improve their technique being practical based on their limitations.
I think it is almost more fun to help adults. I feel that they listen better and are more appreciative. I think Kids is so used to attention and that people care about them so they do not listen so well and do not appreciate the help they get.
I also think kids not not have so good perspective because they have not experienced so much. In example, in our club we have a great training hall with like 20 table that is always there and nice red floor, and i think we coaches have pretty good knowledge and care alot. but i feel like the kids take it all for granted because they have not played in any other clubs and do not understand that some clubs do not have so many tables, and even need to put them up before practice and that some clubs do not have so good coaches and maybe not even organized practice. I think that if they realised that some clubs do not have coaches or organized practice they would fight more and listen alot more. I can be somewhat frustrated because i think they have a better starting position than i had when i was young, because we coaches are pretty good at what we do but they do not realise that because they have nothing to compare with.
But they are kids, so it is what it is and i can maybe not expect much more. But it is to bad that they do not take the possibilites that they are given. And sometimes it can be very difficult and soul draining to almost force people to listen and to get them to figth.
Any suggestions to have to get the kids to listen and fight more? to understand that they have a pretty good starting point, and have because of that the possibility to become pretty good if they just chose to.
I proably went away a little from the subject here but this have been bothering me a bit, so it was nice to be able to write about it. But sorry if it have not so much to do with the subject.
