🙏 I feel like we have our own personal Mr. Miyagi. In all seriousness, thank you.

It looks like I missed a lot but have a few specific follow-ups to your response to me:

1) PG from Next Star is one of the first people I did learn from. He was actually taught me age-appropriate and fun fitness training with my kid so he may have changed. While he has been important to a novice like me, Kristian Fletcher tore his ACL randomly and many on this board have commented about PG’s training style as being outdated so I have not followed the regiments out of fear. Is there literature or someone to reach out to responsibly build a kids body considering they are practicing on turf and playing on it 6 days a week when you include random pickups?  I have solely focused on technical mastery but it is time to address the physical.

2)  I always hear that winning does not matter overseas and nothing really matters until U15.  It is really hard to accept when you only have one shot at this here in the states. Here is a current dilemma: we have the option of two teams for next year. Team 1 has okay coaching and elite talent and will win a lot. Team 2 has elite coaching and subpar talent and will lose a lot. I prefer Team 2 but I am worried about the speed of play practicing with subpar talent.  They have the local track record of developing a kid like mine. Any guidance on how to handle this?

Take team 1 and train on the side.  [/quote]
