[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids love soccer and play for fun--constantly--backyard for hours. One of their parents and uncles played professional soccer. Telling a little kid they will never stand a chance is counterintuitive. Let them dream!! My 8-year old thinks he can play for Germany in the World Cup--who am I to tell him he's American:). I get your point, but if a kid had drive, genetics and fierce competitiveness anything is possible. But, I agree, no travel club will turn them into a pro. [/quote] PP poster here. I totally agree with you...my post was to the parents, not the kids. Treat them like kids, let them have fun, if they happen to be super talented, and super-motivated, great...let them go as far as they can. But parents that run their child's lives like they're grooming them for future stardom? It's not going to end well. Read the Christian Pulisic article in the other thread...that's how to deal with kids![/quote]
