The most important thing for me is to feel that young players want to learn on the training pitch. If they spend 10 hours sitting around playing PlayStation, that's their business.
Young players need freedom of expression to develop as creative players... they should be encouraged to try skills without fear of failure.
Young players need to know how to take care of themselves for life after baseball.
Just like all young players, there is a difference between being involved and just participating.
I think New Zealand Rugby do an exceptional job, the way it's set up from the All Blacks, right down to grassroots. There's a clear path young players can take if they want to be an All Black, if they're talented, or if they get opportunities.
I want kids to continue to enjoy our game and benefit from the rewards of playing the ultimate team sport. That's why it's important for young players, parents, and coaches to know about U.S.A. Football's Head Up Football program.
Young players will run through a barbed wire fence for you.
Liverpool give young players a good opportunity.
