Are we winning at all costs?
I firmly believe that player development is being sacrificed for the big W!
And it is no more apparent than at the premier / elite level.
Case in point, I witnessed a 'warm up' at the Challenge State Cup this past fall that forced me to stick around and watch the game. Expecting a dynamic display I was bitterly disappointed and the experience left me totally dismayed.
The trophies and titles have got to us.
The result ... we are doing a disservice to these kids that want to play at the next level.
Comments welcome.
