[quote=Anonymous][quote]o OP your team sounds like it is learning possession soccer and losing games while it develops this style of play - lacking aggression is probably just the players are still learning to balance when to attack by passing and when to attack individually - it will come. Sounds like your team may be losing games but winning in development. Think long-term. But as far as what to do as a parent for your child? I suggest you let the coach know the kids were upset and that they may need a pep talk and let the coach know you are there to help. Sometimes it helps a coach to know that you get it as far as development v. losing, and that may help the coach understand that winning a game or two is also important for the psyche development of a team and individual kids. Unfortunately travel and rec both have a parent culture of parents who really can't tell when their player is learning and don't accept the reality that you can't track a player from U8 into the premier league or la liga. Take your kid out for ice cream and identify things he does in the game that you can praise - the old DiCicco catch them being good.[/quote]

OP here. Thank you, that is great advice, I appreciate it.[/quote]
