As the title reads, how do you best approach this topic on your team? There are several kids that could benefit from additional core strength, speed, and general fitness. I am certainly aware that saying the wrong thing could be upsetting and even devastating to a 15 year old girl. Wondering how you get some kids to see that extra work outside of practice as beneficial to their health and the game?

Just tell them in a professional and caring way. Sally, It is going to be very important in your development to hit the weight room and speed camp during this offseason. This should be a primary focus in getting you to the next level. included in that would be diet and nutrition to maximize your performance. Are you content with where you are at or do you want more? If more, how are we going to get you there?

Personally, i am tired of the talk to the whole team stuff. The kids who dont need to hear the whole team speech, get sick of it and then they start to question if they are doing things correctly. Step up and talk to them individually. IMO, it's not easy, but in the long run it is best.
