Your kids have the potential to do great things, and I don't mean on the pitch. The time we now live in is ripe for innovation and disruption. And our kids are coming of age at the best time to learn about it and do something about it in the future. Green tech, Nano tech, medical research, decentralized finance, AI, robotics, global initiatives, social change, etc. etc. etc. Spend more time in the car rides and at the dinner table discussing these topics, the future, their learning, their views vs. how to get better at soccer. Send them Youtube clips that spark their curiosity about current events -- now would be a great time to discuss trading in the financial markets or how vaccines are developed and tested or how a recall petition works or the difference between a franchise business and a family-owned.
Keep them seeing themselves as something more than a soccer player. As a parent of 3 olders, I know, it can be difficult because time and money commitments are at an all time high just to participate in club sports. It's easy to get sucked into the rabbit hole of eat-sleep-breathe-talk-type soccer. But you owe it to your kids to help them see ALL the potential in their future. Soccer is just a small part of it. YOLO!
