[quote=Anonymous]Don’t take things so seriously especially before high school ages. They are kids not professionals. Constantly focusing on last weeks game, the upcoming game, scouting out the other teams players like every game is the super bowl, getting caught up in the drama. Too much attention leads to too much pressure and focus on the game scores. Don’t think your young player is a special talent because they likely are not. Special talent is obvious and rare. You’ll know it when you see it. And don’t even consider special until after puberty. Puberty changes everything. Drive and interest needs to come from the kid. Practicing on their own, watching games, fitness, nutrition, sacrifice. Make sure your kid isn’t doing it because they think that’s what you want. Don’t make soccer be the whole foundation of your relationship with them. [/quote]
