[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family is at the beginning of travel soccer and it seems like so many families are pushing for most competitive teams, most competitive or “elite” clubs, etc.

For those who have bought in (literally), what are you most hoping your kid gets from competitive soccer?  A shot at a college scholarship? Benefits of a team sport? Discipline from playing at a competitive level? [/quote]

You should be asking your player, not a general forum that has a tendency to go off the rails.

Having gone through the recruiting process with one child who is playing in college now, and with two others who changed focus to other sports during their prime recruiting years, I've learned that every athlete's situation is different.  I've always guided my kids to play at the highest level possible while still loving the game.  Every other scenario is a waste of time and money, surprisingly 99% of the time its the parents that keep pushing.   [/quote]
