Discovering Talent

It is a fine thing to have ability, but the ability to discover ability in others is the true test.
Lou Holtz | Football Coach

No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.
1 Corinthians 10:24

Most coaches don't get to choose the players on their team. We may have evaluations to match up like-skilled players onto teams, but at the end of the day the pool of players is only so big. We get the players available to us.

It is our task as coaches to discover what makes each kid tick, to uncover what skill the player didn't know she had, to recognize what nobody else does, and to encourage it all season long. Craft her into a better player than she thought she could be.
