If you mean that it's hard to get kids motivated to work on defense and bunting at HS practices, then I have to disagree.

Coach, when I read your words here--and read in an earlier post that your catchers aren't dedicated to blocking-- it makes me wonder if you're coaching in a low-income district, in which case I can understand how your players could have bad work habits.

I haven't had to deal with that challenge, and don't know how well I'd deal with it.
