[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So tired of people always crying politics or favoritism when their kids dont get chosen.   It bleeds down to the players and creates a culture of excuses as opposed to working harder to be better.  [/quote]

so tired of people who complain that all it takes is to "work harder" when there is clear favoritism at play. It wouldn't be such a trope if it wasn't at least a "bit" true.[b] It sucks, but sometimes a decision is made early on and there is nothing the player can do to overcome it.[/b] [/quote]

That is a poor attitude. There are plenty of ways to overcome it. [/quote]

Explain.  Do you mean by working hard to become so good it's undeniable?  Or do you mean by deciding to play the political game too?  Often the latter is far easier, imo.  [/quote]

How many times can your kid juggle in a row?  Can they keep up the ball 50x in a row with laces, inside foot, outside foot, thighs, chest and head?

Are their 5-10-5 shuttle, 400m, 800m and 1,600m times in the top 10% percentile of your age group.

Can they win 25% of their 1v1’s?

Is your kid scanning at least every 10-15 seconds (which is a slow rate) and able to scan and turn with anticipation?

Are they proficient with shooting, passing and receiving with both their left foot and right foot?

How is their ankle flexion, hip mobility and CofD agility?

After all of that, can they play in a neutral field without their squad or support from Mommy and Daddy?

Everybody wants to talk a great game without acknowledging the work. If you don’t get picked, pick a question above and start doing the work to become undeniable.[/quote]

Juggling is for clowns and if the coach thinks it's a good metric of talent then they're a clown too. [/quote]

Never seen a good player who can't juggle [/quote]
