What started as a joke turns into a serious question: when did we decide effort wasn’t enough?In this episode:- Smelling salts at 10U - what are we even doing?- Why kids are mimicking intensity without understanding it- When coaches push too far and confuse chaos for cultureHow the pressure to “be ready” can backfire in every directionThis one’s not about dialing it down - it’s about dialing it in.
