[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn't it feel good to decline an offer from a club that didn't place your kid correctly during tryouts and accept the right offer from another club instead?[/quote] The Michael Jordan effect. I still love to see Jordan decades later call out the Coach that cut him :). Again, many of those types of experiences are what drive a player on.[/quote] Michael Jordan got cut (wasn't picked for) form the varsity as a freshman but made the jv, it is a story that has been embellished over the years. [/quote] Read your share of sports autobiographies by professionals in any sport, most pros faced adversity in some form on the path to greatness---getting cut, politics, death in family, toxic coach, etc. Or, often it's a major growth spurt down the road that was a turning point in development. What's the number one trait they all had? Strong work ethic, practiced on their own night and day. Yes, you won't reach the professional level without God-given genetic gifts---but at a certain level when all things equal. It's who works the hardest. Read about Ronaldo's training and work ethic. At the plebian level that most of our kids are at, hard work will set kids apart by HS.[/quote]
