Improvement Takes Time and Practice

I've been testing my U14 Boys team once a week on a set of skills. My thinking was to prove that "what gets measured gets better." Well, it's been 3 weeks and there have been very modest improvements - but improvements nonetheless.  I'm optimistic that over the remaining 7 weeks we'll see more substantial improvements across the entire team.  On an individual basis, there are some significant improvements with specific skills, particularly the pullbacks and the stop turns.
