[quote=Anonymous]I know it sounds way too early to consider the career paths for a teenage boy, but I wanted to throw it out for Friday discussion. My boy is an overachiever in soccer but an underachiever on almost everything else. He has been playing on the top team in a medium sized club for a couple of years. He is not the most talented kid on his team but he has a good balance of speed, skills, aggression and soccer IQ. He plays soccer at every chance he’s got - practices, clinics, camps, pickup games, backyard, basement, play dates, vacation, etc., and he watches lots of European league games and YouTube videos. He usually got 3s and 4s on school reports, but he is a slacker in academics and he has no motivation to do his best. Not much of a reader or writer either. All he wants to do is to play soccer and become s professional soccer player when he grows up. Since nobody in our family played sports or worked in any sport related profession, I don’t have a clear vision where his passion is leading him in the future. Anyone care to share your thoughts or experience? [/quote]
