Isn't this really the crux of the issue?

Because kids ARE different, it's a lazy or ignorant coach who tries to motivate them all the same way. IMHO

I would say also, that certainly there are differences between generations and the communities involved. What was generally effective in one generation may not be as effective in another. If one is wise, one will make the necessary adjustments to obtain the goals (which doesn't mean giving up on basic principles for human development).
