Winning GAMES versus Developing SKILL Ball With Billy

Youth basketball coaches number ONE dilemma.  Do I win games now and make the parents happy, or do I develop players for their future and risk making parents go "boo hoo".  If you know me you know I stand on the side of developing our youth.  Having them go through the processes necessary for individual success.  But like with everything it is a choice.  Parents must do a good job of seeing the big picture and understanding the negative long term implications of the "win-now" mentality.  True success is NOT short term.  Put your feelings aside and place your validation in the effort your child is giving towards reaching their goals.  Winning games WILL come.  Relax!
