[quote=Anonymous]DC is a rising U11 who primarily plays defense on a top travel team. They looked great for the first part of the season, but the last couple of games they seemed to hang back and not engage when they should have, which was weird to see after they way they played the first 2/3 of the season. I’ve been sort of scratching my head, but now remembering that they had a couple of really rough collisions in those earlier games where they had to come off the field for a bit. I’m wondering if DC is now feeling worried, even subconsciously, about getting hurt.

Just curious if anyone else has noticed this in their kids? If so, was a little break from soccer a good thing, or was it better for them to keep playing and sort of work through the fear? We haven’t firmed up summer plans with regard to soccer, other than a little bit of camp and no Super Y. If there’s a particular thing that can help with this, DC could use summer to work on it  — or take a break, if that would be better.[/quote]
