[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fitness over summer is too much wear and tear especially under 13-14 years old.  Kids need time off. Ball mastery for 15-20 min couple times per week and occasional pick up maybe.  Outside that : vacation, swimming, family, anything else but soccer.  [/quote]

So leave in June at fitness level 8 out of 10

Return in August at fitness level 4?[/quote]

Even with all the extra conditioning and he’s still statistically very unlikely to play college or pro so maybe take it down a notch.[/quote]

That's the reality however there are kids who focus on that small percentage that make it, rather than half assing it because majority don't. [/quote]

Imagine if every Olympic athlete, college athlete, professional athlete listened to someone telling them at 10 years old to not give 100% later in life because you have slim to no chance of making it[/quote]

Yikes you want your kid to be a pro so bad you can taste it.  When they are 18 you will have regrets as will they.  Ease up on them, there will be a benefit in their long term performance and love of the game.  [/quote]

You think promoting lack of ambition and lack of discipline to put in required work to succeed gets you kudos?[/quote]

Same ones who scream favoritism and nepotism when their kid doesn't get attention. [/quote]
