Nice troll job Coach,

I'll give you the skinny on how things really work.  Each child and family has their own individual goals when they join something like travel soccer.  Here are some thoughts:

-Develop social skills
-Make friends
-Play college
-get exercise
-Love soccer?  Yes that's possible.

Here is the reality, 80% of coaches could spend a bit more time developing kids into responsible adults by showing they can educate and be a positive role model.  20% get it, but loose good players because a parent is focused on W/Ls.  I spend >$2k a year on soccer, not for a scholarship or shot at the pros, it's because my child loves the team environment and the sport.  Get stuck on rt 66 sometime, there's $1M worth of cars within 30 feet of you, money isn't an issue and to be honest, I rather people spend it on a travel sport than many other things we spend money on.

On behalf of the time kiling parents on this site....go f yourself.[/quote]

+100. I’ll add more to the list:

- Building self confidence 
- Understanding the value of hard work & commitment
- Great exercise & eating healthy 
- Team work
- Leadership

Unfortunately, Rec teams can’t provide this.  These are the important life skills that most millenials lack. [/quote]
