[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this were my kid i would back far away from this club and possibly even travel soccer as a whole. Youve made him believe his identity is tied up in being on the best team and nothing else matters. "Best team" is highly subjective and he is 9, so this attitude is very misguided. Honestly maybe bail, join a rec team for the spring and also add in another sport to remind him that its meant to be fun. Try something he hasnt done before so that he isnt the best and learns to enjoy it and grow. Flag football, basketball, swim, golf, lacrosse, whatever. Try out for another soccer club for the next year, with renewed passion.[/quote]

This reply reads of way too many assumptions.  You must not have kids who love playing sports.  Perhaps my neighborhood is odd, but most of the kids on my street play sports and it's their main hobby aside from maybe Minecraft.  During breaks they go to a house and play outside, etc.  I don't understand these parents replying with all these assumptions.  Some kids just want to do better because they want it.  It's not always the parents so assuming it is reflects more on the poster than the kid.[/quote]
