[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's been a great experience, but I wouldnt do it if dc wasnt the best on the top team in the best league, with D1 power 5 scholarships being projected. DC loves it and why wouldnt they, being the best at something feels good and helps build confidence. I agree with the OP though, if Dc wasnt the best on team, we always think why do these other parents do it. Some are mid level players spending all their time and money and for what; a low level d1 school, or d3 or even Ivy (could you not get in on academics alone?) and also having to pay for tuition , LOL!

For the parents, it's a great feeling as well! Everyone knows your dc is the star, so with it comes lots of benefits. We get preferential treatment from the club and coaches; teachers, school, etc. Not quite like a football star, which I was from the south, but you get it.

Great topic, looking forward to reading the replies![/quote]

Goodness, may I have the fortitude to walk away from you if our players ever meet on the field.  I loath parents like you.

It’s about supporting your kid.  And that’s it - they go as far as their talents (and as the years progress hard efforts) take them.  It’s not for you to really take credit/bask in their glory. Full stop.

I do think being introduced to humans in teams - and how they operate benefits any working life (and you certainly don’t need to be the top player on the top team in the DMV).  Your kid is likely going to be working for one of those ‘lower level’ players when he hangs up his boots at the end of his illustrious D1 career anyways.[/quote]

The previous PP was arrogant but u don’t have to take a dig at his kid to make your point. You’re worse than he is, so judgmental and wishing the worse on those who don’t hold your holier than thou views.[/quote]

PP is a douche. Blowback is to be expected.[/quote]

I am 99.99% sure that was parody[/quote]
