[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]How old are we talking about here? I have a son that is crazy motivated and trains all the time with friends, team, trainer, alone, but also have a daughter that isn't like that at all. [/quote]

He is 12.  He does play with friends at the park on his own time, so he's doing that.  I would say he is medium motivated, and that is totally fine.  [/quote]

Ok, I wouldn't press.  Frankly, personal training is a luxury and if he's not on board then don't push the issue.  He will get touches over the summer if he wants and if he doesn't then he doesn't.  My personal opinion and what I did with my daughter who is less motivated than my son....I would have the conversation that over the next few years he is heading into an age where the kids really putting in the extra work start to separate themselves.  I'm really noticing it with my kid's teams.  If he is ok with that then by all means, let him have fun as that is what this is all about, however, if he wants to play at a higher level as he gets older he needs to put in the extra work outside of practice and that does not always mean a private trainer.  Like I said, plenty of ways to get touches on the ball and free content online.[/quote]
