[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the responses. I'm still a bit emotional about it. More than i thought i'd be.

Change is always hard. This is a big chapter being turned. It's time to let him go and hope he will fly on his own.

Any suggestions on how to handle the withdrawal while he is in college?

Really, it's more of the same just from a distance. They will still need your support and love. Most college coaches are far worse at coaching than our local club coaches--they think motivation and abuse are synonyms and their idea of strategy is kick harder and run faster. Instead of training they will work on fitness and run beep tests. Unless he is very, very fortunate he will still need your support to stay positive.

Remind him how proud you are and how much you love to watch him play. Go to games if you can. Watch them online if you can't. If your team doesn't have a parent group reach out and start one if you can. Enjoy the chances you get to watch him play.

And for those of you not yet at that point make sure you live your life in such a way that your children will want to spend time with you when they come home from college.[/quote]
