[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It took me a while to realize this, but you can't be someone else's motivation for something like this. My son is older than yours, but my husband used to offer him incentives like extra video game time for playing well. It motivated him in the minute, but didn't build up long term motivation or interest in soccer.[/quote] +1 . My son has, according to all of his coaches, exceptional talent, but honestly, his heart isn't in it enough for him to be great. He's had some bad experiences with clubs, and yes, maybe in a perfect situation he would have flourished. But ultimately, the kid has to want it. There's no sense going through the motions of travel soccer and all of the money and time that goes with it (at least in non-Covid times), if the passion isn't there. I would give it some time to see if things improve, but don't treat your kid as a failure if the passion doesn't return quickly, or even if it doesn't return at all.[/quote]
