Sometimes as a coach we have to recalibrate how we measure success. Sounds like this could be one of those times.
I would also share that the single worst job I ever did of coaching was with a group like you have. Some of my take aways were that I should have realized what I had and adjusted my expectations accordingly. Keep your cool and keep plugging along. You got this...
This is what we did at this week's practice. I set some defined roles for some of the kids, and we had a really good practice. Offense will still be a challenge, but I got some great effort out of them. That's all I can ask.
