Lost in Translation: The Fine Line Between Laziness and Confusion

Some players we meet are lazy, don't want to work hard, and are not interested in things that are difficult or take them out of comfort.  Not a good fit for us.  

But others appear that way on the surface to many, but we know better.  This type of player is not lazy, he just lacks clarity and structure.  I have met hundreds of players over the years that from the outside looked 'unmotivated', but once they plugged into routines, structure, and positive coaching they thrived.  They became known as the hardest, most focused of their peer group.  

They had it inside of them, they were just never in an environment that helped them level up.
