[quote=Anonymous][quote]My comment wasn't addressed specifically to you. I was just noting that while cronyism happens, it is also true that parents are not always correct in their assessment that that is what is happening either. I have seen examples of both issues at every level - although I am not really able to judge the players properly myself at the highest levels, just able to detect when other parents know even less than I do. I find my DS' and his teammates opinions to be worth listening to though - [b]the kids themselves usually know (a lot) more than the parents .[/quote]

I agree with that.  My son plays defense and likes doing so, and so has no personal stake in thinking that one offensive player is better than another on his team.  Often, when I say that an offensive player is good, he tells me that I am mistaking aggression and recklessness for being good, and that another player is actually much better.  I assume he is right, since he spends many more hours on soccer than I do (I play in a 45 plus rec league for 1 hour a week).[/quote]
