[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For anyone who successfully discussed playing time with coach, what approach worked best?[/quote]
Appealing to the coach’s ability to bring out the best in your kid. We reminded the coach that our child was specially and specifically chosen for his team by him and he must’ve seen something in him to do this. We ended up coming up with an agreement which will probably make everyone freak out, but we had to pay for extra training and it resulted in our son having a starting spot and playing much more. Realistically, most parents don’t wanna do this. Extra training resulted in a much better performance from our son until his value to the team was undeniable. He started, he rocked it, he was awesome. [/quote]

At MLSNext level, i should hope all of the players are training regularly outside of team practices! The difference maker is being able to use and show those skills when the opportunity comes.

It doesn’t seem fair if u don’t play a lot but when u do get played, for sure, u better make urself visible and impactful.

That’s the only way I’ve seen players go from not being rotated every week to being a regular sub and to even a starter some times. It’s making the limited minutes they play count.[/quote]
