[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes. I am sad because my son has made a lot of progress in the sport, and really improved over the years, and I am proud of him. However, if he doesn't want to do it any more, dropping it is the right thing for him to do.

loss of interest/passion, decreased respect of teammates/coach or …?[/quote]

Loss of interest/passion, and not really connecting with teammates interpersonally (no major issues, just not close friends).  Coach was good.[/quote]

Not connecting with teammates is what I see A LOT. They get along OK but really as they get to late ES/MS they are more like frenemies. I say this as someone who was involved with travel teams until recently as a non-parent. The parents dynamics are also fascinating. Some people really get hurt when they realize their and/or their children’s friendships were not as genuine as they believed. [/quote]

My kid was a grade down on a soccer team and the lack of connection is one of the reasons they left. Teams are birth year, but they were the only one in the younger grade and just never connected [/quote]
