[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is so sad. Guy with years and years of experience puts it all in perspective and you all are still so sure you know better without even pausing for a second to consider. Sadly you speak for most of the parents around here who think the goal of U9 travel soccer is to win the U9 world cup. As long as this is the US attitude we well never come close to catching up to the rest of the world. 
If you think the point of youth soccer at any level is to win games right now you are the one who still doesn't get it. Youth soccer is about getting them ready for the next level. If you are a travel coach and you take a kid on your team you are making a commitment to do everything you can to get that kid ready for the next level, which includes playing in games. [/quote]

Guy with perspective dismissed talking with the coach like an adult. Regardless of how you believe something may turn out the arrogance that nothing good can come from acting like an adult and talking to a coach about a 9 year old kid is unfathomable. You spend 2k but the coach isn’t worth 1 hour of your time? Brilliant. Brilliant lesson.

The kid will be out of travel sports because of the short sightedness of arrogant parents. If the coach is wrong, well you did your best. If the coach had a point, well you lost an opportunity for constructive criticism that can help.

In short, there is nothing in life to lose by talking. There is everything to lose by practicing pride and arrogance.

Good luck to this poor kid with the terrible guidance here. [/quote]
