The Junior High player wants to be treated the same way as a high school or college player, ain't that the truth.
You have just summed up why it takes a special type of coach to coach Jr. High. They want all the star treatment of a varsity player but want to put in the effort of a rec league player. My job is to get them to put in the effort of a Varsity player and be happy if I treat them like a rec league player.
What ends up happening is they start putting in the effort of a Jr. High player, and I ease up and treat them like a Jr. High player. Then we can start learning this wonderful game together.
