[quote=Anonymous]I've seen youth soccer parents use several types of publicly-available social media (e.g. paid profiles on soccer websites, player-specific websites, Youtube, Twitter) to promote their perceived higher-level DS or DD for obvious hoped-for future opportunities with:  better teams, private schools, colleges, or the YNT's.  These forms of social media may have proven successful, BUT they also could have unintentionally backfired by showing the DC wasn't as great as advertised, or indicated over-involved/nuisance parents.  As a result, given the subjective nature of soccer player selection, coaches or scouts may have pursued other player options.

The higher a player's talent level may arguably give more leeway for greater social media exposure, but in youth soccer what is just enough and where does it cross the line of going overboard?  How does the content, player age, or level of their current team matter?  Publicly available versus private invitation?  Experiences, insights, or thoughts?[/quote]
