[quote=Anonymous]Ok, I'll play along. Keep in mind I'm a parent and a coach. Short answer: Yes Long answer: If we're talking about competitive travel soccer, I would say the amount of time spent doing the activity alone is going to have some sort of impact, let alone year after year. It can affect the friends you have (or don't have), the vacations you take (or don't), holidays (did someone say tournament?), and the amount of free time you have for other things. Now is your child going to go from nice to mean, shy to social, polite to rude (or vice versa etc.)? Ehhh probably not, but the environment they spend time in and the people they hang out with certainly affects them. How much? depends on the individual and how much time they spend. Keep in mind the environment changes as well, coaches change, players change, teams change, sometimes clubs change. As a parent you're (hopefully!) one of the major constants, take that as you will.[/quote]
