[quote=Anonymous]My son plays on the top U10 team at big club but I sometimes wonder, what is the point? He likes the game and his teammates, and our family loves watching him, but the odds of him (or anyone) "going pro" are pretty remote. I'm not even sure I would want him to play in college. The life of a college athlete seems pretty brutal. It's ultimately his decision, but I'd rather have him enjoy college, find his calling, and crush it on an intramural team. So, if a pro career and/or college scholarship are unlikely, should we be spending 6-10 hours per week to get him to practice, games, private training? It just seems kind of ludicrous to me. Interested in hearing what motivates other parents to dedicate the time to travel soccer if a scholarship or pro contract is not the ultimate goal. Or, are we all crazy? [/quote]
