@coach_kevin_m For me it hits close as it’s my boy. He’s not played Saturday football or league games since November 😢 He can’t develop is he doesn’t get included in team or play and it’s inevitable to end in one outcome

@cdavid15 You are not alone, mate. Coaching is very hard, and we tend to beat ourselves up a lot when we make a mistake

Hits close to home…. “The strongest players in my squad were fine. They were playing every week, getting development time, and feeling valued. The ones who left were the ones who needed more support, more playing time, and more encouragement.”

A child hears “not good enough”, and something shifts. Not always outwardly, but internally, it lands. • Some withdraw. • Some play safe. • Some stop trying altogether. And we call it “attitude”, but step back. What if it’s not the child lacking something… What if it’s the environment removing something? Confidence isn’t built through judgement, it’s built through repetition, patience, and the right words at the right time. This doesn’t mean standards drop, it can mean standards are taught, not thrown at children, because development is uneven, messy and non-linear. The child who looks “behind” today might just be the one who needed more time. Time is the one thing most environments don’t give. So before saying “not good enough”, ask a better question: Have we actually helped them become good enough yet?

A parent approaches you after the match, their under-9 played 12 minutes. The team won 3-0. The parent isn't angry, they're just asking quietly and genuinely why their child barely got on. What do you say? And more importantly, were you in the right? I've broken this down in the comments because a recent poll of 548 coaches and parents said more than you might expect 👇

🚨BREAKING: OpenAI published a paper proving that ChatGPT will always make things up. Not sometimes. Not until the next update. Always. They proved it with math. Even with perfect training data and unlimited computing power, AI models will still confidently tell you things that are completely false. This isn't a bug they're working on. It's baked into how these systems work at a fundamental level. And their own numbers are brutal. OpenAI's o1 reasoning model hallucinates 16% of the time. Their newer o3 model? 33%. Their newest o4-mini? 48%. Nearly half of what their most recent model tells you could be fabricated. The "smarter" models are actually getting worse at telling the truth. Here's why it can't be fixed. Language models work by predicting the next word based on probability. When they hit something uncertain, they don't pause. They don't flag it. They guess. And they guess with complete confidence, because that's exactly what they were trained to do. The researchers looked at the 10 biggest AI benchmarks used to measure how good these models are. 9 out of 10 give the same score for saying "I don't know" as for giving a completely wrong answer: zero points. The entire testing system literally punishes honesty and rewards guessing. So the AI learned the optimal strategy: always guess. Never admit uncertainty. Sound confident even when you're making it up. OpenAI's proposed fix? Have ChatGPT say "I don't know" when it's unsure. Their own math shows this would mean roughly 30% of your questions get no answer. Imagine asking ChatGPT something three times out of ten and getting "I'm not confident enough to respond." Users would leave overnight. So the fix exists, but it would kill the product. This isn't just OpenAI's problem. DeepMind and Tsinghua University independently reached the same conclusion. Three of the world's top AI labs, working separately, all agree: this is permanent. Every time ChatGPT gives you an answer, ask yourself: is this real, or is it just a confident guess?
