We did have a topic this week, but after discussing some of the current challenges for around hour we decided to park that for next week. If you're a coach dealing with trying to improve players over parents expectations on results and team tactics, you'll want to listen to this one.

Coach favoritism is the topic we get our teeth into this week. This interesting scenario came in from a listener and we discuss how we'd handle the situation where a coach seemed to be playing favorites with either their own child, or any other player.

This week we discuss managing those Messi wannabee's who dribble at the expense of passing to teammates. We talk about the impact on teammates, the player themselves and what is really driving that behaviour.
