[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous][quote]Kids have private coaches nowadays? Holy smokes.

Oh absolutely. It is hard to improve as an individual player without one (vs. learning to better work with your teammates), unless you have a parent or other adult who knows a lot about soccer and can work with you for free.

This shocked me too. There is a thread on it somewhere. Soccer has become a sport for the rich kids unless you come from a soccer family. Personally I hate that much competition at such a young age.[/quote]

I am willing to pay for sports stuff, because unless my son is playing soccer or tennis, he is on video games or annoying me about why he can't be on them.  It would be great if there were more pickup games etc. locally, but I don't want to organize them, and no one else does.[/quote]

Music.

Reading.

Khan Academy.

Respectfully, it sounds like you're hiring a babysitter rather than a private coach. You have to drive this kid anyway, so how much time and aggravation are you really saving?[/quote]

Respectfully, STFU[/quote]

Why am I wrong?[/quote]

Because you are basing an opinion on a parents motives and relationship based a paragraph on a forum.

You lack context and understanding to even be right.

You just want to hate on parents who pay for soccer and don’t raise their kids in your idealized past. If my judgement is wrong then consider your judgement of others. [/quote]

Amen. The amount of judgment based on little or no context is truly breathtaking. I would not compound the error by speculating as to all the reasons RSD has arrived at such thinking. [/quote]
