[quote=Anonymous]My kid turned 17 and handled it all himself…let me tell you the sh@t and politics and nepotism and incompetence and favoritism in both HS and club soccer prepared him better for life than anything else. This kid got screwed over more times than I count and we didn’t fight it each time. Cut, benched, etc. for coach’s son and friends, etc. passed over for promotion by bench kids of donors, etc. just told him something better always comes along…and it always did. It took until end of senior year in HS. Cream really does find a way to rise to the top. But, be warned, college soccer is filled with the sane horsesh@t. Thankfully, the backbone and self-worth and grit he developed from not having mommy and daddy up the coaches’ butts or us cozying up and wining and dining the HS coaches paid off, not just in soccer but life. Kids get great confidence from all of this when you let it happen and teach them ways to deal with it and move on. [/quote]
