Some kids just have a physical gear others don't. Things come easier, more effortlessly and without expending a lot of energy. There's also that mentally - where kids can learn at a high level, digest a lot of information, process it and even pass it along to others. To be good in college sports, you need a good mix of both of these. Some might have more of one than the other, but whatever works for your team at that time is what you need to do. And if you're lucky enough to be able to get a human who can do both - you have a pretty special player. A coach's job - #1 - is to do that. Job #2 is getting the most out of the skills they have and bringing them to the next level. Ollie had no idea how to do #1. Because of that, he just couldn't do #2 even if he wanted to. The few times he had the chance, he proved he couldn't do it. [/QUOTE]
