Understand, this is the issue, the support (parents and coaches) that are participating. A lot seem to be actively proud of their lack of knowledge. Instead of showing a little inquisitive nature, they try to cram the whole thing into a concept they can easily digest or apply. They roam the countryside spreading their "wisdom" and trying to get the kid to "Send it long." Paying for crazy amounts of travel and spend more time in the car than the kid spent with the ball at their feet.

But, if you give them the easiest and cheapest way to get some sustainable results, they revert to completely bonkers takes on the subject. I bet if I paid them $50 to watch the video in the "Soccer Starts at Home" link I posted, they still wouldn't get it. Now, my kid has to play with their kid. With them on the sideline screaming their heads off while my kid is trying to control the ball. It's even funnier when you hear parents and coaches yelling at some kid to "Control the Ball!!!."  How is that going to make anything better? You don't know what you're talking about! You didn't even try to learn about the game or help them! Shut up and let them focus.

I'm glad at least one person got the message. Hopefully, their kids have an enjoyable experience, play for a long time, and retain some of those skills to impart to their children. [/quote]

Considering the bolded above, it boggles the mind that people honestly believe that the reason we are not a dominant soccer nation is because .0001% of all the body types in the United States plays another sport professionally. I mean, soccer only has 99.999% of the rest of the population to choose from to field a successful soccer team.[/quote]
