[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a parent has to use money to motivate a player, that player is motivated/passionate about money not soccer.

The best players on our team are self-motivated and I can tell they love the sport.

Please show your DC the soccer movie, “Alex and me”.

That’s not true, rewards motivate behavior, not passion. I want my kid to behave different, i provide a goal with a commensurate reward.

The best players on the team might TOTALLY NOT be self motivated. Some of the worst players could love the sport. Correlation is not causation.

And they won’t be the best for long.

When you get into high competition by teens, any non self-motivated player will no longer be the star no matter their base athleticism.  Drive, ambition and an unwilling desire to have that ball.  The lazy, I could take it or leave it players/can’t be bothered to chase back and parents think they are special drive me nuts.  I’d rather see a kid of lesser talent giving 110% than a kid with wasted potential.
