I try to coach in this same line of thought. We used to run a single safety but now that teams can throw better we had to switch to 2 safeties. The kid that got moved to the second safety went from never going after a ball or WR to last week he tried to jump a route and mistimed it so the guy caught it. I was over the moon that he tried to jump the route. I couldn't care less that he missed. The fact that he knew his job was to get in the way of that pass and he tried to do it was amazing to me. Next time I feel confident he's gonna know that ball down if not intercept it.

Exactly!! I had a kid that wrestled for me and he wasn't very good. He tried hard and practiced hard but just wasn't very athletic. He wrestled a match, and for a minute and a half he was lights out. Like he's never done before. I was so proud of him. He thought I was crazy because I was high fiving him and ranting and raving about how well he did. He said "coach I still got pinned" I told him yes you did, but you wrestled the best I have ever seen you do for a minute and a half, next time it'll be 2 minutes!!
