I also agree with Bear on the players playing with different coaches. All coaches have their style of coaching. This helps players to grow into competitive players.

CWIS*GK - "Yeah, the weather was bad, but good players + desire drives good athletes to perform higher and lack of in marginal athletes to perform lower" - you hit the nail on the head as far as I am concerned.

I'm sure those English premier teams' coaches could care less if it were raining, snowing sleeting etc...he expects those players to perform at top level.

The boys need to think of it like this...I have to prove to the coach that I want to play, I can play and I am willing to play in the nastiest weather there is if thats what it takes to make the team.

The boys need to be able to be coached by any coach no matter if it was the coach from last year or a new one. Remember, that coach is not going to follow him to the National pool if he is picked at camp to go on.
