Nobody is perfect.
Maybe not the ideal way to do it, but for 18 to 20 year olds this is not always the worst way to succeed in 75 % of the cases.
In my opinion, the boys should be able to win against their competitors, if they want to reach a place in the ebel
The opponents are full of players who did not make it.
And at the moment, contrary to earlier, that looks like they could.
I don't think it's very good. Especially for teenagers, the psychological effects of being yelled at by your coach in front of your peers compounds heavily. It makes kids afraid of working on the very things they need to improve. For sure some insolent kids take criticism poorly, ignore criticism, or worst of all misconstrue constructive criticisms to be personal attacks. However, I've never known an insolent kid who took criticism better when it was yelled.
Inevitably, the whole team is not going to be comprised of future EBEL players, so group success may not track individual contribution perfectly, but for sure the older players should be dominating. I think Nico's success thus far in the EBEL illustrates both how competitive it is in Salzburg and how underrated and overlooked Salzburg players are. I'm pretty sick and tired of how they are ignored, and their accomplishments are explained away. Salzburg has a gold mine waiting behind their already-stalwart talent.
