[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Advice from the father of a pro soccer player - Practice juggling with a ball every day on your own.

As for teams, you can't beat location and nice kids. Chances of making it to college are slim from around here. [/quote] When did your kid start doing this on their own vs your encouragement? I agree with this perspective and while my kid practices everyday in varying capacities (formal and informal) (sometimes just knocking the ball against the couch for 5 mins before school, etc.), rarely do I see her choosing to juggle.[/quote]

I should have clarified that I am not the father of the pro soccer player, but that was advice given to me by one. My own DD was a good fast player but didn't go the extra mile to practice foot skills outside of the team very often, although she did have additional classes and private lessons during off-seasons. Eventually (in high school) her foot skills were visibly below that of the best kids who were getting recruited. I think juggling would have made a big difference. [/quote]
