[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A well respected coach in area was DC playing at an open run/scrimmage and mentioned has alot of potential but I should get some personal training. Not sure how to take that advice. Good, bad? Is it necessary or he trying to make a buck. He said could recommend one. This is for a u11 player.

Any experience or advice on this would be appreciated! [/quote]

$$$$$$

Duh.[/quote]

This wasn't necessarily a solicitation by the coach to be the trainer. Perhaps the coach was simply giving some advice. Geesh[/quote]

I agree.  I think the cynical posters may not realize how many coaches there are in this area who truly love the sport and want to do their part to help talented kids succeed.  We encountered one such coach when my son was a U8.  The coach of the opposing team, who we'd never met, came up to us after the game after asking around to figure out who our son belonged to.  He told us he had a lot of natural talent, but was in danger of falling into the common trap of relying on speed and strength instead of skills, which would ultimately hurt him.  The coach mentioned some coaches of older kids at our club who he knew were good skill trainers and said he'd be happy to introduce us, and he said our son was always welcome to come join his team at a different club for practices.

This coach's intervention and advice had a profound effect on our son's soccer development.  Since that time we've met many more coaches who just basically live and breathe soccer.   Many of them offer free training for kids who can't afford it.[/quote]
