he definitely played much faster on Sunday. Hopefully that continues and yes he only played 19 snaps, but lets stack good games.Did notice that Queen seemed to DART to the ball.
Wish I saw this before the game. I would’ve bet the house.
It's pretty cool! It's also interesting that it's McPhee, obviously a veteran, but also a former Raven who was around during Ray's career. I wonder if he can seen the team can go the distance, but needs that leadership and can somewhat emulate what he grew up seeing as young player from Ray.
it's been mcphee mostly every week since the beginning of 2020
Very cool! You wonder how much of that has an impact come game time
if im honest - not a ton...
because they do those speeches and then they all sit on the sideline and wait for the game to start...
it's cool and it probably helps them demarcate the moment that the pre-game becomes "the game" but i doubt it changes performance at all
the "talky" stuff that happens on the sideline or on the field probably far more impactful
Absolutely. I can recall the difference between my high school and Rec coaches, my high school coaches were just dickheads, not motivational at all and very little football knowledge except for one(who ended up coaching at WVU), they did nothing for me or any of my teammates with pre game talk. But man, my Rec league coach, that dude made me the football lunatic that I am today, he had a great mind for football and was a natural leader of men, he was cool as shit and he taught me very well and he made me wanna knock mfs into the bleachers with his pregame and sideline talk, he gave the whole team a serious swagger with it, it was very noticeable.Not sure I agree, getting the younger guys focussed on the game and away from the distractions floating in the heads pre game I think really helps them prepare for the game. Having that vet presence is a calming influence that lets them focus on what they've trained for all week.

that stuff absolutely makes a difference to young and impressionable players. To this day I consider myself very lucky to have had a coach like that to start out with.

I feel like you gotta get them having fun at that age but once they’re in sports for about 3 years or so and they’re comfortable playing the game, then you can start talking that war stuff lol. My coach was just on some brotherhood, fortitude, imposing your will on the enemy with your brothers type shit, like he knew what to say to make us play with intensity and focus and with great camaraderie on the field for 13-14-15 year olds.Mate I had to tone down my pre game rev up speeches to my son's under 6 soccer team after they came out a little too fired up. Apparently telling 5 years olds they are about to go to war is frowned upon these days, soft.

great coaches are crucial for kids man, I feel this way because of this coach and the impression he left on me.

Have liked him since his rookie year. Pretty sure he was a fan favorite among most. Just nice having some of that old guard around to instill the "culture" in the newer guys. It's like they're getting gang back together with him and Bynes... hell even added a Ryan.
didn't he have an interception back in 2019 in his first game for us.Trueeee. Also not sure why we moved away from Bynes last year anyway. He played really well for us 2 years ago and and right now. The dude is 16-0 in his last 16 regular season games as a Raven.
[QUOTE = "airconteka, post: 300540, member: 88"] Amigo, tuve que bajar el tono de mis discursos previos al juego para el equipo de fútbol de menores de 6 años de mi hijo después de que salieron un poco entusiasmados. Al parecer, decirles a los niños de 5 años que están a punto de ir a la guerra está mal visto en estos días, suave. [/ QUOTE]
As a children's basketball coach, it is wrong to give them "that" motivation, to have fun, but knowing the game, with more individual technique, when they do things well and / or better than others is enough motivation for them.
"If you want a champion in your house, train and play yourself, let your child have fun"
at least that's what is promoted here in Argentina in basketball
Como entrenador de baloncesto infantil está mal darles "esa" motivación, para que se diviertan, pero conocer el juego, con una técnica más individualizada, cuando hacen las cosas bien y / o mejor que los demás es suficiente motivación para ellos.
"Si quieres un campeón en tu casa, entrena y juega tú mismo, deja que tu hijo se divierta"
al menos eso es lo que se promueve acá en Argentina en baloncesto
