[quote=Anonymous]How old is your kid that you are currently gunning for a pro career and s/he isn’t in high school yet? Is this typical? Not snarky - just curious.[/quote] I think it is typical. Soccer is a young man's game. Many kids get signed by the time they're 16 or 17. If you're 19 or 20 and you haven't been signed to a contract you are facing very long odds against success. And it's pretty obvious by 13 or 14 which kids have any sort of chance of making it, and - more to the point - if the kid hasn't set himself the goal by this point, he's not going to put in the work necessary to make it. We could have a separate discussion about whether chasing such a dream is sensible or realistic - but if that is the dream then it starts before high school or probably not at all.[/quote]
