[quote=Anonymous]Happy to explain my position. We as parents are 100% responsible for controlling the pressure and expectations related to our kids soccer experience. Choosing the right coaches and teams for your child is the first step, having the right conversations before and after competitive games is the next, making sure they enjoy the tournaments and training outside of that is another. You have to maintain an environment that is about them and the sport they love. If they don’t love t, you need to lay it off and not pressure them. If they do, you protect that from all coaches and you let them play as much as they want.

If you only care whether they win or lose, so will they. And they will never just play. That’s unnecessary pressure. Then there’re parents’ expectations. Most of the parents on our first Bethesda team care a lot more about status and optics than their child’s experience. So it is not about the amount of play, it is all about the negative experience that we create around it. [/quote]
