SILVER ELITE
I have a 2001 son that has been on same team since it started back at U8/U9. We been through hard times, team politics, age group break ups, super star players that expect everything, some seasons my son played and some was a bencher, But always following coaches directions, work for your position and we the parents stayed away since we are not experts.
As a SoCal average soccer family with 3 children playing, we feel our son has “Followed the developement process” and watch so many players chase the “Dream Team”. We have seen that playing in a team that is high on the ranking will not develope your child and having the coaching parent on the sidelines destroys the focus.
We now see the club jumpers at a level that is equal or lower and some just gave just playing high school soccer. Was it worth it?
Our son is committed toD1 college, have tough him to work hard for everything and most important “Do not run away from anything in life unless it’s unhealthy”!
Parents, what are you teaching your children? Run away when you don’t get your way? Do not blame your children when they are grown up, jumping from job to job, getting divorced all the time and still living at home in their 30’s.
