It's absolutely normal for young players to show nerves. My job is to make sure they believe in themselves.
Why did we start slowly? Was it the occasion? The pressure? It doesn't really matter. In the scheme of things it’s a friendly for some very young boys . Although it’s a league game there is no result recorded . We will win all sorts of things but first let’s get you enjoying the game and understanding it .
Whether we win 15–0 or find ourselves 5–0 down, my approach never changes because I believe in my players. When they truly realise just how good they are, they'll be unstoppable.
Results are not what we are looking for at such a young age as such it’s the development of technical confidence and resiliency .
The greatest achievement isn't just building a successful team—it's building one the right way. No poaching, just coaching.
We've developed boys who are resilient, respectful, polite, and who never give up. Those qualities will always mean more than any tactic or result.
Seeing a group of young players refuse to quit, no matter the score, is the ultimate reward. That's what it's all about.
If we had a graphic of how much we have improved 📈 .
Forever proud ❤️
Coach Chris
