[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It should be a lot of fun. How old is your kid? A fair warning though, from a European, have your kid be aware that they will be below par to most junior teams in Europe, no matter the country. Club football/soccer in Europe is vastly different to club soccer here. And in general much, much better. If kids are a bit older,  they would not be there if they were not pretty good.[/quote]

It depends, we did a tournament in Italy and the team from this area held it's own.  Don't assume that because they are from Europe that they all better than you, why would you ever tell a player that he/she will be below par?  Is that tough love crap?  You tell them to do their best, that's it.[/quote]

Well yes, tough love is how you build athletes! You did read that I am from Europe?! I guess your reply explains why US can't produce a top 10 male tennis start for years and years now. Pampered kids, pampered athletes with not drive, shocked out of their mind when they go to France to play tennis(one example) and think they are going pro and then are beaten by an average club player there![/quote]
