The older coaches say, "This generation of players is not the same as ours was". They want young players to be like they were at that age because only in that way they will understand the game.
But it is good that the new players are different and think differently. These players use new ways of hitting and therefore the game is full of completely new situations, which makes us think and become better coaches.
In the past, fights were won with a good tactic. Roman Legions used the Tortoise formation: a tactic of moving towards the opponent in a formation in which it wasn't possible to hit the soldiers from the side or from the front. Russians during WWII let the German troops freeze before Stalingrad and after cutting the supplies of food and gas Germans had no chance to be successful. English air force helped to sink the German battleship Bismarck with slow and old Swordfish planes. The strong canons from the ship could not target the planes.
A team that wants to be successful for a long period of time has to lower the difference between the concentration during practice and during games. Therefore, achieve the same level of playing skills during practices and during games.
Everyone knows the story of the Trojan Horse, when the Greeks could not enter Troy. Odysseus suggested that they would build a huge wooden-horse statue, where the soldiers hid... and you know the rest of it.
