[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a former coach and current parent of a college soccer player and I will politely disagree with the other coach since these are all just opinions. I think soccer actually reveals a players attitude or personality, rather than changes it. The pressure, time commitment, adversity, forced comraderie, interactions with coaches, etc. shows all the different angles and facets of a kids persona. Playing on a team for many years may cause some very modest personality changes on the margins, but having coached the same core group of kids for 10 years I don't think their personalities actually changed by playing soccer (when taking into account general personality changes from maturation from kids into young adults). [/quote] +1. Although club soccer is a big time commitment it still only comprises about 10% of a kids waking hours while school activities comprise 50%. Schooling is much more likely to affect personality and attitude than soccer.[/quote]
