[quote=Anonymous]For some kids it will come but I think you need to be honest about whether it’s personality or something that can be changed. My son was like your son at u9. We moved him to travel because he was frustrated with rec. The first year the coach was very positive about my son and said he would learn to be more aggressive. He had good foot skills and game awareness. DS was no longer a superstar but the coach recognized his promise and was very encouraging. At u10 a new coach came on the scene and did not have any patience for DS’s lack of aggressiveness. We were told that the lack of aggressiveness might be due to confidence so we decided to do some private lessons. It really didn’t help. It was a so-so year but we didn’t want to give up too soon so we returned for u11 believing it would eventually click. Now finishing up year 3 it is clear that DS is simply not going to develop into an aggressive player. His coach has made it clear that his time is up. He tells me that DS is a pleasure to coach but he is too nice and costs the team on the field.  We are considering a move to MSI classic. [/quote]
