One of our Under 11 players this season is showing a dramatic drop in performance.
For the past few years he has been, without exception our "strongest" player - in terms of scoring ability, strength and power.
It's really odd and in noticing this and talking to his parents, they've noticed it too and aren't really sure what it is down to.
Acknowledging that young players "change" physically and mentally as they develop, is there something that I should be aware of or be doing?
Thanks.

| It could be something happened at school. Maybe one of the older boys ran through one of his tackles and knee'd him in the head or something knocking his confidence? If it is a confidence thing then do the confidence drills you do at the start of the year like tackling somebody who is jogging in a straight line.

Bring the fun back... he may struggle now, but if its fun, he'll stick with it & who knows- he might be the next great thing!? Even if he doesnt become a superstar again, you'll have made Rugby GOOD for that young man & helped him grow...
