This is the norm at most European academies.   Soccer related things are discussed between the player and the coach.  Coaches coach, parents support.  This may be hard for helicopter parents to accept. [/quote]

Speaking conceptually here, until the US Soccer system as a whole and its coaches are able to establish a track record of successful player development (instead of the tragedy going on right now), parents rightfully so have "trust" issues.  My kid is with FCB, so I'm not talking about them specifically.  I'm just saying that even for me, I wanted to stand back and "trust the process", but a succession of incompetence and betrayal makes that hard.  And don't even get me started on the politics that acts like a cancer in virtually every club.

That said, conceptually again, ideally, it is much better when parents can in fact step back and let the coaches coach.  It's better for parents so they can step out of the process and let coaches do the work of developing, but clubs make it hard to do that.

However, so far, I too have had a great experience with the Escola.  I find the coaches dynamic, flexible and player focused.[/quote]
