Our Commack team was overmatched today by SE. Although twe dominated draws, couldn't execute. SE a good team, but looked very selfish, which will cost them. One girl tries to run though everyone without passing to other open girls, and turned the ball over about 10x. Seems like selfishness is a problem on many teams that in the long run wind up dividing the team and ending a season. Our team is guilty of the same.
I think we know that player. Small kid, never met a shot she didn’t take and makes a habit of turning the ball over. Our team has one too, these kids would make great tennis players, but they make terrible teammates. It’s a coaching problem, those girls should ride the bench until they learn to play as a team.
Yep! Coaching problem. You let the ball hog/stat hog pull that garbage and not pull them, team goes down eventually. Selfish play is the downfall and it’s on the coach!
Team doesn’t always “go down”, but this is a problem on West Bab, Northport, Middle Country, Hills as well just name a few. Not an isolated problem. Too much emphasis is put on points, this is driven by social media.
