At what age do you recommend starting private trainings/coaching for your kids if they’re serious about soccer? And if so, is it better in a group or solo?
We’re around parents from all spectrums - some who say they’ve never done anything formal beyond what their club provided, to kids as young as 7-8 training 6-7 days a week sometimes twice a day + other sports.
In both cases the kids are pretty darn good but it seems like it’s the ones who have been through it with their older kids that tend to lean towards not doing the privates for their youngers.. is this because they don’t see the value in it after going through it? Or maybe burned out because now it’s their 2nd, 3rd, 4th kid?
I’ve heard so many different things from some parents who are like, it basically comes down to genetics - if you have the right body type and speed, you’ll pretty much make it no matter what so long as you stick with it, to the outliers mentality of 10,000 hours will make you an elite player.
What do you think?
