During our chat we spoke about picking players on belief that they will achieve, developing core skills in players while knowing the game your players are playing. We discussed allowing players to make errors during training as that is part of learning and decision making. We also spoke about learning the softer skills of coaching and giving feedback and using it as a tool for progression.
