Ok loser. My kids are well adjusted adults that played Soccer since they were young. Not my #1 sport for them but that is what they choose and since we did not want them to be over scheduled they picked 1 or 2 other activities as youth depending on the time commitments. One still in college and all attended UC or Ivies with 2 playing in college and all 3 getting scholarships based on academics and or soccer. Their goal was to pick the college for their major and if Soccer fit in great otherwise there are always college club teams, Rec and adult leagues to continue playing the game they love. They never worried about getting to the next level because they loved Soccer and always had a ball at their feet. 1 quit in HS to pursue another passion which catapulted him to world fame in his field. I remember packing with him for college, he took 2 sets of cleats because he was excited to play on the club team if time permitted. Again his goal not mine!@Chalklines @Fact since you guys seem to be so wise and confident about your ways. Care to share your kids soccer story. Where they started and where they are right now? Yes I’m calling you guys out. To see if you guys are for real or just a bunch of trolls
All had the speed, endurance, raw talent, competitiveness, IQ etc. Maybe 1 was a unicorn but we believed in a balanced life and not putting all their eggs in one basket. Plus our summer and holiday travel use to interfere quiet a bit. They were highly recruited by tops club team when they were young and no matter the level of team, they generally played the entire game although I sometimes requested that they be required to work for their spots not just be entitled since they were good. For example, if they were late they needed to be held accountable. Some coaches held them to the same standard as everyone else on the team and some just let them play because they wanted to win. To me Soccer was an important life lesson.
At this point my kids and I enjoy assisting coaches, shagging balls and supporting my nieces play. Unfortunately one of my nieces quit because of an ass like you. Kids hear a lot more than they let on. So my son is busy coaching AYSO with her to get her confidence back to play club. The funny thing is it looks like her AYSO team is better or at least comparable to her club team. Again, jackass losers like you should be banned from all fields! No matter what level someone plays soccer at, your first priority should be to have fun and it is NOT fun with losers like you around.
