I don't agree some people may be born with talent others develop talent.Westfan wrote:You are born with talent. Coaches have nothing to do with that.
Coaches can recruit inside the school, be involved in all levels of the program (biddy ball and up), and create an environment in which kids enjoy playing and want to play. Hence an increase in numbers and an increase in talent.
Other than that you have to develop the talent you have. Whether or not that has been done effectively is a matter of opinion.
Talent is something you either have or you don't and you do naturally. Skill is something you can improve on, practice and get better at.game day wrote:I don't agree some people may be born with talent others develop talent.

I don't agree with this 100%. You can't turn an average athletes into Michael Johnson but with strength training and plyometrics you can make them faster.jagered wrote:U can't coach someone into speed so to offset that u coach/teach :12224 better technique.
I think we've all seen kids who have gone as far as their natural ability will take them. They developed earlier then the other kids and paralayed that into on field success. Then when said kid is in HS and the others have caught up to him physically, they aren't the star they once were. They never had to work for it until now and a lot of them falter in terms of performance. Conversely, we've also seen kids develop and continue to improve through their careers by hard nosed work ethics along with some solid coaching. While I agree with westfan in regards to talent being natural, I've also seen plenty of cases to the contrary. Coaching most definitely matters.noles_fan wrote:I don't agree with this 100%.

Not to be negative towards the kids because they do have some talent. But you can't hide the fact that we've won 9 games in two seasons. So either we've been down on talent or they haven't been coached to their potential.dreamweaver wrote:Back around to my original point. Coach Triplett and staff have prepared them well the last three years and they have plenty of talent and maybe more experience than any team they go up against in the SOC. So they have a great start JMO.

To clarify, I'm lampooning your statement about Trip and staff and the job they did the last 3 years. I fully recognize this team will return a lot of experienced players.dreamweaver wrote:Yea I believe it and find it hard to believe that you don't. Shows how much football you actually know.combine the experience this team has with the loss of talent elsewhere except maybe Waverly and add in the new and improved phenomenol new staff and they should have a showing this year.
