Good read!I am a strong believer in rewarding results. It doesn't matter if we are talking about sports or the workplace. If you are one of the top performers, you should be compensated as such; playing time or monetarily. That said, taking weekly hitting or pitching lessons could/should help your player to be one of the top performers. If a player chooses not to take lessons, this will most likely show up in their results. As a consequence the player will gradually lose playing time and may not (either by their choice or the team's), not return the following season.
I use similar philosophies in my professional life. I am proud to run a department that provides upward mobility to the staff, but that mobility is earned. If a position is available and several people are in consideration, I will review things such as work history, accuracy and timeliness with projects, attendance, etc. I don't need to make any of these things mandatory. The associates make their position very clear by their actions and the consequences/rewards are based on that.
So, to answer your question, I am not in favor of mandatory lessons at 14u. If you told me this was a college coach making the requirements, my opinion would be different.
Can you please share how/why you came to the
no mandatory at 14u?
View work has attendance and performance standards which pay for results.
& Offering paying more to do more.
Travel obviously not paid.
Yet still needing some form of standards to run the team for results.
