While watching the game yesterday morning I heard the announcer talking about Hazard getting fouled and I thought it related very well to our Legends players. Our moves tend to draw the ire of other players. They have been taught to go hard to/through the ball. When our players move the ball quickly to one side or behind a leg we tend to get hit and kicked, fouled. This will always be the way. Right now, most of this is unintentional hard play. As they get older these fouls will become more strategic, allowing the other teams time to get their defense into position. On our side, the Legends have to learn to deal with the fouls and not look for calls. They have to play to the whistle and learn to use the other teams aggression to their favor. This is yet another step in the growth of our players.
