[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once some coaches form an opinion (and clubs too), [b]it can be next to possible to change it even when the player has improved drastically and done everything right.  At that point, it’s time to move on[/b].

I’m critical of my kids’ play. I played through college myself and I’ve seen teams where they were not the best in there position and when they’d complain- I didn’t hesitate to tell them that—not in a negative way—but they had to work hard and improve. AND- I told them they couldn’t be “just as good” as the starter, they had to show they were better. [/quote]

I would have to agree with what's in bold. It is so hard to change perception.  When my son was younger, he was on the 2nd team, always guest with the 1st team but he could not get moved to the first team.  Coach always had a justification, etc. and asked us to be patient and he needed to develop more.  Maybe there was some truth at the time. It messed his confidence for some time.  Anyway, we moved club and my son was assigned to the first team and has been a starter since and plays in the top boys youth leagues since he moved. Don't waste time trying to convince someone who doesn't see it your child imo.[/quote]
