[quote=Anonymous]My son was first team All Met in high school and could have played in college. As an 8 year old, he was more interested in birds and had no skills or aggression in soccer. This frustrated my husband greatly. But the next year, he started playing with friends at school, and was suddenly more interested in the sport. He was still just ok. He wasn't really a standout of any kind until 10th grade. Then, in the right position with the right coach, he was awesome. So don't give up on your daughter, and back off. Let her enjoy it in her own way and maybe she will one day be great. Or maybe she will just be a kid with a good team experience getting lots of exercise. Nothing is sadder than a parent on the sidelines who cares more about the game than the kid on the field. [/quote]
