[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure why I hadn’t realized this til now with DC in U13 but I had no idea how much money it costs for a soccer player to become truly elite by high school. These kids have fitness, strength, running, technical work, periodization schedules mapped out around ID camps—all outside of team practices. It must run in the 10s of thousands per year as some of the coaches are hitting $200 per hour. For those of you doing this: is it worth it? And in general, are there any really top kids who do NOT get this extra training? Am I the only clueless parent out here? [/quote] It's a mixture of having a quality coach that's focused on development (not all coaches are good) and an youth athlete who practices on their own. There is no such thing as a successful athlete who doesn't train not their own. Even if it's doing 500 touches on the ball at home a day which only takes 15-20 minutes. [/quote]
