Message: [QUOTE="Capt.

It really is about possessing the ball, waiting for opportunities. By possessing the ball, eventually opportunities will open up. It like the old fashion NFL ground game. I haven't read it (because I have lived it where my kids have trained) but Richard Shaw has just written a book (which has been very well received) about how to train adolescents, not just physically, but emotionally and mentally as well. If you are going to be in this for the long haul, I would recommend at least reviewing the reviews. Its available on Amazon. [/QUOTE]
