[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A couple of points:

1.  Kids are “better” and improve relative to their peers by (a) being better athletes to begin with; and (b) working harder to learn skills and techniques.

You say you do not see your daughter getting better compared to other kids.  Is she working harder, practicing more, than those kids?  If not - ask yourself; are you expecting those other kids to stop improving while your kid catches up and passes them?

It’s not unique to sports of course.  Academics, arts, music, whatever.  Practice more, learn more and you can get better, but your classmates and competitors will by trying to get better too.

In soccer, i guarantee that kids your daughter’s age, in your area, are already working 4-8 hours a week outside of practices and games.

4-8 hours if you include juggling and agility on their own (i.e. messing around in the yard) or playing with friends. At U10, a structured 8 hour a week training plan on top of practice and games seems like a recipe for burnout and over use injury[/quote]
