RE: Team Europe – Still Digging, Still Hoping (Report #1)

That's why I tell you it's necessary to recruit and develop a player so they adapt to the team's characteristics while maintaining their individual essence. There are interesting players (in this case, users) who, with a little support, can demonstrate or give much more than they have shown.

Barcelona has a flexible standard because it doesn't expect to find a fully-fledged player, but rather seeks them out from a young age and develops them. Other examples include Messi, who was a player from the age of 13, and Xavi at 11, among others.

Sort:  

Continuing this analogy, isn't that what the Youth (Newcomers') Team is for? The team that's responsible for nurturing talent and developing them into better players (like a youth team coach would). Then when they're good enough for the first team, they are slowly integrated?

Hansi Flick wouldn't be coaching these youngsters until they're more developed and are beginning to fulfil their potential.

Hansi only has so many hours in a day, he can't be spending them with the Under 11's when there is a dedicated team employed to do that.

Going one step further, they'd earn very little in the form of wages until they reach the first team and prove themselves.

Some will have played hundreds of matches before their 1st team debut and 99% of them won't have the ability, talent, discipline and determination to reach that level.

That's why I say, knowing the factors that can influence the development of something or someone, why get discouraged after just a week? Is it easy to find good and/or excellent players? Success is not achieved immediately anywhere, unless you bet all the millions of euros in the world on it.

There may be a team teaching and motivating newcomers to Steemit, but what if some decide to follow their own ideas, and their own way of doing things? (there are many of these).

For me, if I were looking for something, I would just take the first week as a "reconnaissance" session. The second week will certainly be better.

If you walked 500 miles looking for strangers to help, when you’re only physically capable of walking 10 without damaging yourself, would you walk 500 more in the hope that it might get easier? Also knowing the damage cause after the first 500?

And knowing that the last time you did this journey, things were far better (bad).

I would stop walking if I knew for sure there were no good people in this world, but I've always been an optimist and cling to the hope that at least one of them will cross my path before I pass out from the pain.
