[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have a child who went pro?  Or at least play in college?

It sounds like you were all pushing your kids to be on the top club teams but the kids weren’t good enough.  I’m sure there are options to play sports where it’s not competitive but some won’t accept that.[/quote]

Mine is committed to play in college and I posted earlier about a setback of youth B team. 
He was naturally talented in certain aspects of the game at the younger ages, but not so much of a standout that we thought the placement was egregious. It was a huge motivator for him, though, and by freshman year he had put in a ton of work in the weaker areas of his game, started on varsity over the kids who were on that A team, and continued that level of work ethic to find success.

The stories shared don't seem to be sour grapes to me; they are largely sharing setbacks with OP who presumably is trying to help their child through a setback of their own. I don't know why some people are being nasty.[/quote]
