[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This burnout stuff for these kids is funny made-up stuff

It's easy to push and repeat theories that can't be proven. 
If our kids are burning out doing less than others who aren't we must be weak[/quote]

You havent been around enough. Its real. Many kids just call it quits before college. Some are actually pretty good. No desire to keep  up the grind which is really what it takes to be good at soccer. Keep telling yourself its great that a 14 year old should play 60 games a year.  Never mind injury risk and burnout, kids probably need more time to train on weaknesses or work in gym on strength vs the pressure of winning another game or another team practice[/quote]

How many 14 year olds here are doing two-a-days training?
MLS Next U14's and U15's play less than 40 games a year. Who's playing 60?
How many U14's are playing full game minutes?

Kids quit music lessons, art, martial arts, scouts etc etc all the time because they lose interest and find other interests. 
It's not burnout. 
There are kids quitting sports without even putting in extra time outside team practices and calling it burnout. Hilarious 
They spend more time seated looking at screens [/quote]

This argument stemmed from a team in nj- nj premier..the 2011 team played 60+ games in last year so that is where the 60 came from. [/quote]
