The players, all youngsters of course, at first were resistant. They were worried they'd look stupid, or they were afraid of change. That's kind of the opposite of what you'd expect. You'd think young people would be more open to change, and old coaches would resist. No matter. We do it and it works. Can't wait to see Marc's DVD to find out if we're doing it right!
