[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, your son is playing at a high level isn’t enjoying playing.  That could mean he may not like soccer that much.  Have him work on explosive speed because that’s what separates outside positions.

Otherwise, your coach just may think DS isn’t good enough to play a position OR is so good at midfield he must play midfield.[/quote]

Explanation from coach is that my kid is able to get ball out quick and needs my kid in the midfield as there aren't many on the team that can do that.  I agree it will help my kid grow but when your kid comes home from playing crappy in a position they don't like and is upset to the point of crying it's frustrating to see as there's nothing I can do.

I've had my kid workout with an academy team and it went well.  Will be practicing some more with that team in the spring to see it's a good fit.  Most likely will make switch if all is good.[/quote]

I would be really concerned if my child was frustrated to the point of crying over this.  That is a huge character flaw, and should be your priority in responding to this. [/quote]
