He's a young stud, ready to ride

twinktop I’ ve been coaching long enough to know that good players come in all sizes. It’ s true that height and weight can be an advantage but they only go so far. I’ ll take a smaller guy with drive, enthusiasm, and a strategic mind over brute strength any day. Grant Ducati is one of those smaller guys that still has it all going on. He’ s a great asset to the team; he just needs to be used the right way. Grant has what I call“ Super Hero Syndrome” Way too many young athletes get it. shs is the idea that they have to be six feet tall and three feet wide to be any good. I could tell Grant was throwing himself in the middle of things like the bigger guys without appreciating that his strengths are speed and agility. A few days ago, I heard a couple of the coaches talking in the office when they thought they were alone and I think I know just the kind of confidence building exercise Grant needs, and I think we are both going to enjoy it a lot.
