[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what threatened parents say when they want the subs to accept their role. They believe challenging the status quo would upset the delicate balance of team chemistry and morale.

Being friendly with and wanting to take their spot are mutually exclusive. For the starter to use "friendship" as a way to manipulate and demotivate the teammate in the name of "friendship" is another technique used to protect ones status quo. We wouldn't want the sub to feel guilty by outplaying their friend now would we?[/quote]

Dude, you have issues.[/quote]

Serious issues. Your poor kid, man. [/quote]

Serious question. How many subs have left your team over the years for starting spots elsewhere? How many B team players left for another clubs A team?

Do you think they left happy? Do you think they left liking the coach, your club, your kid, you?

Do you honestly believe that a kid who gets 15-20 minutes a game is really cheering for your kid? Do you honestly think that same kid truly feels invested in the outcome of the game?

How naïve can you really be? [/quote]

Because I think you're crazy, I'll leave it at this last comment.

The kids who left the B team went to another B team. I've talked with some of those parents. They did not move to another A team. Why? Because they didn't have the skill set, which is why they were on B team to begin with. So apparently hating the A team kids didn't do them much good. They're on another B team at a different club just hating a new set of kids this time. Hate doesn't have much currency. Personally, I think time and energy is better spent honing your game and trying to make it an enjoyable experience. You could always learn from the A team kids. But you do you.

They simply accepted their circumstance. Some do and some don't. Playing the game is enjoying the game. Watching the game is not really as much fun. Continue to believe that kids really enjoy watching and cheering over playing. [/quote]
