[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dream for my 13 YO DD is for her to play at a national level, don’t know what that is yet, maybe YNT?  Maybe pro? College admission to a top university with scholarship would be icing on the cake and not my motivation for supporting her soccer dreams.  [/quote]

Well you outed yourself with the statement “My dream for my 13 YO DD”.

It HAS to be her dream, not yours. So, you are either a troll or terribly misguided. [/quote]

Ha! So true!

My 14-year old has been training by himself up at the middle school and comes home talking about “Karen Academy”. :lol:

There are 1-2 moms with girls younger than him screaming at their daughters and forcing them to train.  Mom is in goal diving like a middle aged idiot and telling girls they are t working.  Real fun for 6, 8, 10 year old girls.

My husband and I often played with our kids when they were little.  I played college soccer, but it was always FUN.  Family competitors, monkey in the middle, lots of laughter.

Your kid needs to want it on their own.  If a kid isn’t out there in their own—mine bike to a field every day (14 and 12) and train by themselves, watch YouTube, Fifa games, etc.  they are never going to succeed.

Way too many DMV parents living vicariously through their kids.  My younger one is starting to like basketball more.  It’s his choice.  He’s opting for the driveway hoop more than the field with his brother.  It’s his life to live and should play for fun and passion.  “The Last Dance” might be some of the latest obsession.  Who doesn’t love basketball after watching that?

Let her make and follow her own dreams.[/quote]
