[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By the time I was 17, I also had lost the passion and drive that I had when I was early HS.  Just let him enjoy what he has left of HS and living at home.  Require him to fill extra hours with a job - that would be a non-starter for me.  And he should have to contribute to some club fees if you owe for the Spring.  I think that is a reasonable request.

And so not the same... but we pulled our younger kid out of high-level club this year.  Best decision ever.  She has had time to do other things.  He will figure it out.[/quote]

Thank you! What was weird in this case - is there didn't seem to have been a loss in passion for the sport. We are guessing something happened related to the specific team/coach that drove the decision. And to other's posts - even with HS and Travel soccer he has MORE THAN enough downtime - some of that is filled with a job - but his lounging around playing computer games and hanging with friends was never short-changed by his soccer playing. Academics was the thing he happily avoided (and is a nonstarter for us). We will allow him time to process this and get back to finding his passion but doing nothing is not an option. Hopefully when one door closes another is opened he works to finding a productive way to fill the gap. [/quote]
