[quote=Anonymous]I don’t see any child as a “threat”.  Who the hell are you people?  What world do you live in?

I’m guessing you are all at Clubs that put a heavy emphasis on team placement vs development.  Clubs where people are stepping on one another for some perceived glory of an A team spot.

It’s what I tell my kids, your competition isn’t some other kid in Loudoun or McLean or Arlington.  If it is, you are limiting yourself.  There are kids all over this country a million times better than anyone in your Club, or the local DA.  We won’t even start on a Internationally.

My kids want to be the best they can be.  They aren’t comparing themselves to anyone in the Club.  They don’t care so much what the team is doing.  For instance, if the team won but they didn’t play well that day-they are upset.

If it helps you to think people aren’t charting your kid’s development course for you because they are jealous or see your kid as a threat, you have a really inflated view of your child’s talent.

My kids do their own thing to achieve their own goals which aren’t to be on some A team in this area.  [/quote]
