STay in the game!

​Realize that all athletes have a different timeline of development. Encourage early bloomers to focus on technical skills and not rely on their strength, size, and speed advantage over peers. Encourage late bloomers to continue working, stay involved, and to never give up. Late bloomers often surpass the early bloomers in the long run. Keep all athletes involved in the team and part of the game. It will result in greater individual and team success when it really counts.
