In my 10 years as a coach, the hardest thing is getting the extremely talented people and the extremely untalented people to buy into
The Process. With the very talented people they just don't need it to succeed at the junior level. They're going to destroy the competition no matter what.
The very untalented people it's hard because they can do everything right, and they're still going to struggle to be even mediocre.
For both you want them to learn it because a) it's good for life, and b) even the most talented are eventually going to need it, and if you don't start learning about it until you need it, you might be SOL.
Manziel apparently still hasn't learned about
The Process.
One of my favorite quotes...
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.
The documentary has Manziel talking about his "buy-in" and why he wasn't and how once he got to Cleveland he wanted nothing to do with football. it was multifactorial, but he mentioned his high school experience left him feel the way he did later on. His high school experience was very much the everyone grinds and works hard mentality.
