Message: [QUOTE="jimva, post: 2467404, member: 6175"] I don't post here often, but read a lot of the threads to keep up on UCONN sports. I did my undergrad in the late 80's and my grad in the mid 90's. I was born and spent the first 30 years of my life in CT but have not lived there since 2001. Anyway..... I am struggling watching these games. I don't think its a lack of talent or plays, or even coaching. I think it is a lack of will not to be beat - to the ball, to a spot on the floor or in a game. Unfortunately, my experience (my son plays hockey at an elite level) has taught me this cant be coached into a kid. You can guide, advise, try to teach lessons, but in the end the player has to own this. I think a couple kids on the team have this, but for the most part it is missing. [/QUOTE]
