[QUOTE="America, post: 250792, member: 454"] Last year, I coached a team of 11 year olds. There were several good players on the team but one guy was exceptional.....I called him OJ. Super-fast and elusive with good football instincts. But I couldn't get him to come to practice. His Dad worked odd hours and they lived kind of far away from our practice site. His Dad even said "He knows the plays...why does he need to come to practice?" Because the QB needed to practice pitching the ball to HIM. Because the blockers needed to learn how to block for HIM. Because we needed HIM when we did pass plays to get our timing down. Practice isn't for the benefit of the individual...it's for the benefit of the team and not participating because it "won't do any good for you" is the ultimate in selfishness and the exact opposite of being a team player.
