[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The contexuals are important as well...is this MLS Next/ECNL or something lower?  If your kid is a top player with real prospects, then you have to be as ruthless as these clubs are and do what is best for his future in the sport.  If they are playing for the learning experience and fun, then maybe stick it out all year and see if they can overcome the challenges cause its not really about their future in the sport.

If it was me, it would be all about what the long-term goal is of playing the sport in the first place.  And we all kinda know where our kid is at whether we want to admit it or not...[/quote]

Do you think kids know where they are at or rely on their parents to tell them?[/quote]

I'm sure its different for every child.  I have a U11 and a U14 both playing on top teams in top leagues.  One thinks he's better than he actually is and the other thinks he sucks but he's the best player on the pitch every match.  It's my job as a parent to view them critically and be honest with them (and myself) so they can get better.  Too many parents are completely detached from reality and think their kid will be playing on TV soon...so they make bad choices for their kid because of it.  That was part of my point above.[/quote]

Why do you trust you to be an objective knowledgeable expert in evaluating your kids?[/quote]
