love this thought: "I think of everything that we think of from a coaching end in sports, the technical aspect gets overrated. I think the difference between a player "making it" or not usually doesn't come down to whether they dialed in their passing technique a little more. I think if the mentality (understanding of the broader concepts of teamwork, playing systems etc, as well as individual concepts like hard work, curiosity, toughness) and the physicality are there... the technicality, so to speak, is pretty easy to teach if she can get access to any kind of decent coaching. Which.... if she's physical and a good team player, the good coaches will find her." It is something that more young players and their parents really need to understand.
