Youth development

Article on youth development. I thought the part about competitive vigour was relevant to our recent youth players.

I think the article is correct concerning dietary needs and expectations, something we seem to have addressed now. Even though we are being run in a proper manner now, as it were, was the arrival of LD and AS too late for our present team? The next batch of say 15 year olds will have a few years of individual programs to suit their own specific requirements which in turn should theoretically mean they have a good chance of breaking into the first team. Has that ship sailed for the likes of Duthie and Allan who seem to be on the verge of a breakthrough?
This coming season may well be very important for us.
