Message: [QUOTE="JustSayin, post: 4191739, member: 8150"] I agree, dealing with this "institutional specialization" is a real issue. While some specialization is needed, i.e. goalie play, there is the opportunity at midfield. And your statement about players "over coached" is spot on. I never thought about it that way before; but that probably explains the many unforced errors. I get to the dome early for every game to watch the team warm up. The passing and catching are excellent in drills. Come game time its like the players are nervous. The more they don't want to make mistakes the more they make. I'm a disciple of John Wooden ... coach in practice then at game time let the players play. Just manage the clock and box. As a former player, the yelling from the sideline never worked with me, so I concluded it doesn't work for others. I'm sure there are many different perspectives here. [/QUOTE]
