[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious, is there any early sign before they burn out?[/quote]

Not wanting to go to practices anymore.  Complaining when it's time.  This was always a clear sign for us that something needed to change and ask is it the sport in general or the team/club/coach/practice curriculum.

We weathered this twice and the answer was the Club environment with boring/non-creative or age -appropriate type training sessions.  One case it was teammate behavior which never was addressed.

My kids have gone through short periods of time where they lost a bit of passion and by backing off, allowing a few missed sessions, finding fun activities soccer related outside of their Club, etc. went a long way.  I also found camps and training completely separate from the Club in off-season.  It was good to have different players and different coaches and see the big picture.

I can happily say my U14 and U11 went to the local outdoor basketball court with pug nets in tow and got a few friends to come outside in 20 degree weather to play Futsal yesterday.  They are back on a 'all in' mode.  [/quote]
