Really?

I took the opportunity today to teach slide tackling properly as the field was wet so it is easier to avoid injuries.

There were a couple of players on the team who had never slide tackled someone before.  I couldn't believe someone could be on a college soccer team and have never slide tackled before. 

I understand if its been a while, or if you've never been taught, or even if you play a position that doesn't require slide tackling so you've done it quite infrequently, but to never have done it before just seemed wrong.

I made sure to fix that by offering up my body as the guinea pig for them all to slide tackle into.  Made the day quite fun actually.
