[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only a player can make the ultimate decision to stop being a hog. Then again, there’s certain players that have a skill set which lends itself to being allowed to put the team on their backs. We need more creativity, not less. The ability to beat someone 1v1 is invaluable.[/quote]

There’s a player on our team that her parents give her $10 each time she scores a goal. Hence, she’s a complete ball hog and wouldn’t pass even when her teammates are wide open to score. So some ball hoggers are created and not born. [/quote]

You know it’s still on the coach to reward appropriate behavior. If a coach doesnt see this as a problem or issue to addresss then perhaps you shouldnt either. If you find that culture of parent and coach detrimental to your childs success in development or fun, time to leave that team.

It’s all about individual players at the younger age, you dont want to coach the competitiveness or aggressiveness out of them. They need to be focused on their own ability, not their teams ability to win.

If there are other issues at play, like 15-0, or other soccer iq skills to try to develop then looking for goal is the first thought. If it is really bad fit with this player, and the coach apppears to love it, again look somewhere else.
