[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to find out why your son wants to play forward/wing?  Is it because he just want to score all of the time?  [/quote]

I would say that's part of it but not all.  [b]Naturally my kid is an attacker has always been an attacker since U8.  Moving the ball up the field just just doesn't provide inspiration compared to playing wing or forward. [/b] It probably doesn't help my kid doesn't gel with the coach like the coach from last year.[/quote]

If the explanation were just about anything but this, I would be with you.  But this is a very immature mindset that doesn’t suggest your kid has really learned to function well as part of a team.  Especially with larger field and more open play that starts at U13, I wonder if part of the coach’s motivation for moving him is if he seems like too much of a ball hog and coach wants him in a position where he will have to learn to pass and work with his teammates more.[/quote]

OP here.  Not a ball hog at all.  My kid is a smart player and knows when to pass and when to keep the ball.  My kid's goal is for having  the team win not looking to up their stats or anything.  I do agree bigger field and puberty have played  a part in this as my kid is small.  At this point just need to ride it out and see how things work out post puberty and go from there.  Again, I agree it's probably a good thing to play a midfield position growth wise.

Also, I mentioned "swagger" earlier.  That was probably the wrong word.  I'd say "confidence" is what my kid has lost playing midfield. 
 
All good feedback here thank you for your perspective.  It's all good...Darned first world problems...[/quote]
