Letting Players Play
Allowing players to play freely during practice is essential for their development. By letting them engage in unstructured gameplay, players improve their existing skills and learn to adapt to various game scenarios. This approach emphasizes that players can learn effectively through experience and mistakes rather than always being directed by the coach. Incorporating constraints can help enhance their weaker areas, but giving them space to explore their strengths is equally important.
