familar with delayed gratification?

Its easy to teach kids to win. Put the big lad up front, hoof it to them. That's how we ended up with Watson, after all. Does that process grow good footballers?

Perhaps winning isn't the focus at all, but gaining technical competency? 

What if focusing on kids to win involves screaming 'no' at them, if they dare to pass in front of goal?

How do they learn to pass out under pressure?

What if fear of losing encourages the goalkeeper to hoof it long everytime the ball comes near them?

Does that grow good footballers?

What if wanting to win is the easy bit, but gaining the skill to do so at a high level is the real journey?
