Secondly, I think your point about "feeling and passion" is spot on. There is an age old friction between the game as an expression and the game as a process. A system that is the expression of a coaches ideas on how the game should be played Vs the players expression as themselves as a player.
That's why we have teams, to meld the two together into a functioning outfit.
I don't know any answers. I just know that sometimes, coaches are very quick to start with "what should my session look like" rather than starting with the game. This is particularly important at young ages. The game is the starting point or it doesn't mean anything.
