We see juniors forcing midline which isn’t what we advocate for.

Demands of the skill override coaching

Seeking effectiveness, no ego

Give them love

Make themselves available

Symantic are a problem

We agree with a lot but disagree with some

That’s ok

Is healthy

Challenging beliefs is healthy

No science is settled science

Define midline. Passing positions between the shoulders will just happen.

Picking a side goes against everything the body is designed to. It’s a counter productive key that comes with tremendous ambiguity

Karch says he never was told to pass on his midline, but certainly he passed plenty of balls on us midline. The game is the game. Nobody needs to be told to pass on their midline, the game will force them to. Nobody needs to be told to pass off their midline, the game will force them to. Certain nobody needs to be told to pass a ball 1-2 inches to either side of their midline. The game will take care of that.

Trajectory, certain angles, etc. ask Nate
