I'm sure monitoring and recording progress is important...said as much in the 1st post
But, and speaking generally not necessarily this instance...I think if people are keen to work extra to improve their skills (and career chances) you have to let them and encourage them to do so. There are enormous benefits to be had from putting in time to practice. As an accuracy game I don't see how football is that much different to golf or snooker say. Beckham for one took dozens every day. 8 would be less than 5 mins and then it's off to the play station/golf club! And it's probably still not midday
If he had suggested count your first 8 and your last 8 then that sounds more like it to me
