Doughnutman:
What you say is true but the original post came off to me as a little too much "take your medicine kid"...
Any good coach pushes players to learn the game and needs to push them beyond their comfort zone to do that effectively. I just wanted to add to the conversation that it is important to keep their goals in mind and not come off as "Well, I know better than all you whippersnappers, so you will strike out and like it! Cuz' it's good for ya!"
Brussel Sprouts were probably good for me, but I still faked eating them when I was a kid and played brussel sprout basketball from the kitchen table to the kitchen sink...
