Summary

This quote suggests that having fewer rules in place for players in sports can actually be beneficial. When a coach has too many rules, it creates more opportunities for players to unintentionally or intentionally break them. By minimizing the number of rules, the players have a clearer understanding of what is expected of them, reducing the likelihood of rule-breaking. This approach promotes a more focused and disciplined environment where players can perform their best without unnecessary restrictions or cumbersome guidelines.
