Something I've been thinking about regarding the youth and inexperienced of our players and coaches is something my highschool coach used to tell us:


Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.


None of us are watching how this team prepares every week. All we can do is watch and see how much better the team gets after each week.


But it's important to realize that gaining experience via games played does not create a better player or coach. It's preparation in regard to figuring out where you are not performing well, and then learning how to fix those issues.
