Put me in the category of people you wonder if you should pass to or not. All I have to say is when you go out of your way to exclude people like me, it only makes it more likely that I'll screw up on the odd time you do involve me. This is because I feel like there's now an expectation that I'll ruin the play which just makes me more nervous. Don't be an ***hole to untalented players, do what you can to coach, and help us feel like we can contribute. I know when I feel part of the team I'm more inclined to work my butt off and contribute in other areas (I'm an excellent pest in ball hockey).
