BRONZE
Hello, everyone. My name is Lewis Andres and I am a soccer parent who has a daughter navigating the youth soccer world. We recently moved from New Jersey to Southern California. I want to share my story with you and hopefully get some advice and support from this forum.
My daughter is an elite player who has been playing soccer since she was four years old. She has a passion for the game and a talent that is rare to find. She has been on several teams and ECNL clubs, always being one of the best players on the field. She has won many trophies and awards, and has even been scouted by some college coaches.
However, her soccer journey has not been easy. She has faced many hardships and challenges along the way, mostly because of unfair playing conditions and lack of opportunities. She has been on teams where her teammates were not up to par, where they did not care about the game or practice hard enough. She has been on teams where the coaches were biased or incompetent, where they did not give her enough playing time or recognition. She has been on teams where the parents were toxic or jealous, where they criticized her or tried to sabotage her.
These experiences have taken a toll on her confidence and happiness. She has felt frustrated and discouraged, wondering if she will ever find a team that suits her needs and goals. She has felt lonely and isolated, feeling like she does not belong or fit in. She has felt angry and resentful, feeling like she deserves better and more.
That is why I am here today, looking for the best situation possible for my daughter. I want to find a team that will appreciate her skills and potential, that will challenge her and help her grow, that will support her and celebrate her achievements. I want to find a team that will treat her fairly and respectfully, that will give her equal opportunities and chances, that will value her as a person and a player.
I know this is not an easy task, especially in the youth soccer world where there is so much competition and politics. But I am willing to do whatever it takes to make my daughter happy and successful. I am willing to travel far and wide, to pay high fees and expenses, to sacrifice my time and energy.
I hope you can understand my situation and empathize with my feelings. I hope you can share your experiences and insights with me, and offer me some guidance and advice. I hope you can welcome me into this forum and be my friends.
Thank you for reading this introduction. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Lewis Andres
