As mentioned, I think it is really important to make sure all players play all roles in practices. This way when discussing with the players and parents you can say the player had many more reps at both positions in the situation where a player who prefers F but is playing D. The player's offensive skills are still progressing thru practices.

I try to consistent play up my defensiveman as my top players in the locker room. I usually have a name for them like "warrirors" etc. This helps them feel positive and needed.
