[quote=Anonymous]I have a 2014 in the same boat where I am trying to learn how much is too much.  I prefer him to play other sports but he does not want to so I have decided to support his decisions.  Am I am not elite athlete but the way he trains, he is at only 9 years old.  We are having candid discussions about nutrition, rest, sleep, stretching and recovery which were foreign to me at that age.  I am trying to research everything I can to support this passion.  I am currently abiding by the hours training per week in accordance with age rule which is currently 9 hours per week.  At my son’s age, his coaches believe that touches on the ball are the most important thing he can do.  We did private solo training most of the spring but please be mindful that it is both the best and most taxing because the kid can’t hide and will work intensely for the whole hour.  There are no right or wrong answers.  My kid is driving this train and I am just trying to navigate it the best way I can.  If something does not work, change it.  Sometimes, you will have to hold them back but as long as the passion is still there, let the fire burn.  I hope this helps![/quote]
