If the game is the best teacher, then playing time is vital to development. Therefore, substitution rules shouldn't limit who has the opportunity to grow their game. 📺: piped.video/nEnm4uOa6SM 🎧: ecnl.info/BTL-ECNLPodcast

When it comes to younger age groups, it's best to give teams a varity of competition levels, to challenge them, give them confidence, and to measure their skill set. Too many loses (or too many wins) can be detrimental. 📺: piped.video/Mu_bsJdMfac 🎧: ecnl.info/BTL-ECNLPodcast

As a club, best practices for coaches is setting them up for success. Give part-time coaches tools & session plans. Allow full-time coaches to collaborate with each other. Don't saddle them with unnecessary stress/tasks. 🎧: ecnl.info/BTL-ECNLPodcast 📺: piped.video/BlyiG3lVetY
