Trying it a few times in training is not stupidity, it's just curiosity. Doing it over and over in a game, even when your coach and teammates tell you not to,

  I take deep issue with anyone who refers to anything that kids do as 'stupidity'. They're kids playing a game. We have no idea what their home lives are like and we have no idea what the game represents to them. They're kids, not professionals and frankly, they deserve the benefit of the doubt.

    Now, it depends on who are the "kids" here. You are possibly thinking of this in terms of American school activity soccer, and small children in general . I completely agree with you about 10-year-olds. I was writing in the context of 17-19 year old kids who have trained football for a dozen years and perhaps played advanced computer games for almost as long. It falls into category of the Einstein's quote about doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

      Okay, good point. I read your comment wrong - thanks for clarifying!
