[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just gotta say, my son is an excellent U8 soccer player, and reading this stuff makes soccer parents sound so unhinged. It’s also why I haven’t let him try out for any of the most competitive clubs despite those coaches literally approaching us at tournaments and asking him to come to a practice. And it’s also why I don’t let him attend the off season practices and let him play basketball, lacrosse, and summer swim. They’re children. And I would rather him play literally any other sport as a teenager than soccer, because soccer in this region is unhinged. You should hear yourselves. (Except you OP- clearly let your kid play high school soccer. These children are not pro athletes. Nor will they become pro athletes.)[/quote] LOL U8 superstar The dance and ice hockey and lacrosse parents are meek quiet and humble beings [/quote] That’s the whole point! It’s stupid, right? He’s only 7! No one has any idea if he’ll be a good 20yo soccer player. And literally who cares if he is or not, besides him . You don’t even know if your 14yo is going to be a good 20yo soccer player. Or your 17yo! Anyone go to WT Woodson in the late 90s? Abe Thompson was an amazing soccer player. Like out of this world! But he wasn’t the guy on that team that ended up with the most professional soccer success, was he? If you asked anyone at our school in 1999 which guy was gonna up on the men’s national team roster , it would have unanimously been Abe. But it wasn’t. My point is you guys need to chill out and let the kids have fun. [/quote]
