Reply to "Coaching kids with little to no skill"

My greatest feelings of reward as a coach for me has been seeing the "lemons" that I had reach a level way beyond what I had expected in the beginning.  It's nice to have talented and competent players and sometimes they can be a bit of a disappointment, maybe even more so than the "lemons".  Dealing with "lemons" is far from easy of course and I had to be pretty tough on some of them at times, but it often brings me to tears when I think about what some of them had achieved.  I guess I was just lucky for the most part as it seemed like such impossible tasks.  I recommended patience, but that's easier said than done, certainly  not easy and the season can feel like a very long time to maintain it.  I only hope Coach can find that kind of success with his "lemons."
