1. Fundamentals before the game? Not necessarily! 2. Is fun an add-on? It's crucial! 3. Is winning more important than development? Think about it! 4. Tired? Forget about speed! 5.. Models of the game? Start with the principles! 6. Talent identification? Development first! 7. Copy - Paste? It doesn't work! 8. Are errors a lack of quality? Learning doesn't look pretty. 9. Youth coach - for a while? A valuable specialist! 10. Shouting? Find another solution! 11. Mental resilience? Try to understand why! 12. Hiding a weakness? No - exposure to the problem! 13. Early assignment of positions? Swap it for comprehensive development! 14. Lack of youth-led activity? Create the conditions! 15. One-sided communication? Conscious dialogue is needed!
