I know I’m easy to ignore but I’ll repeat what I said earlier: my kid attended a game, a player caught her attention and the rest is history- she studies the game insatiably. I didn’t tell her to. If her coach did, good for him but I never heard him tell her to. She just got hooked on the joy of watching top top level and has begun to see patterns unfolding, seeing how different people with different physical attributes leverage them to be world class.
the coach who told you that girls don’t watch soccer unless told to was probably talking about the U-10 to U-14 range. As a blanket observation, he was probably spot on. But as the girls/ young women’s game evolves and players become students of the game, that changes.
Have your kid tune into one of the Premiere league games this weekend! They are effing amazing players to watch!
