If they truly like the kid then they should like that the kid is athletic. two or three sport athletes are rare now but those are the kids you should be looking for
They should make all goalkeepers play baseball/softball and take grounders. I swear to god, if I see another keeper dive for a ball that is only 2 feet to the left or right of them, I'm going to lose it. The goalkeeper trainer who started the trend of having goalkeepers dive for EVERYTHING is an idiot and never played baseball (or softball for that matter, but I'm pretty sure it was a man). I saw the Galaxy keeper (Braine Rowe) dive for a ball literally 2 feet to his left, he didn't get down in time and it went between his arm and body (sorry, couldn't find the clip). And this is a professional! How many times have you seen this type of ball bounce of the keeper's stomach or body and into traffic? OK, I feel better now!
