After watching youth lacrosse for 8/9 years up thru recruiting ages, I am convinced as kids age the focus becomes a "me" mentality, not team play, but showman performances in these events. If all are out for their own gain, they will not win, the coach can not change that behavior.
This is the best answer I've seen in this entire discussion. Couldn't agree more and makes sense why such great talent doesn't win. God forbid a kid doesn't "get his" while his top 10 college coach is watching. Warped. But at the same time its up to the coach to change that behavior and try different players if it's hurting the effort of the others on the team.
