[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 14 year old son is on the second to bottom level travel team in his club.  He's just mediocre, his better sport is baseball, but he doesn't enjoy it as much.  We can afford to pay for travel anyway, so since he loves it, that's fine.

DH and I have started jogging in the local park where DS plays pickup soccer games, and we have noticed that he plays much, much better in these games than travel.  He is more relaxed and looser, and his shot seems better.  Not only that, he runs faster in these pickup games, and is more aggressive.  DH mentioned the kids he is playing against at the park are not as good as his travel opponents, and that is likely a factor, but my son is also noticably different.  What gives?  He's had a series of different travel coaches, most of whom have been fine.  Why does he play better at the free soccer in the park than the soccer with a professional coach that we pay $2K a year for?  I don't deeply care, but I do find it weird.[/quote]

Well I think your husband answered this for you...the kids in the park aren't as good as his travel teammates and opponents.[/quote]
