[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A trainer is simply unnecessary. Plenty of YouTube, Techne, etc. stuff online. This is true with or without CV risks. [/quote]

Agreed but the 1on 1 live video with a trainer might more better for the non-motivated kid and/or for the coach to train/talk to his/her players during this down-time. [/quote]

Christ—if a kid is unmotivated to play soccer on his own—there is zero need for a trainer anyway.  He just doesn’t love it that much.[/quote]

This just not true. There are limits.  Soccer is a very social game.  There are so many activities that kids enjoy that are team activities...keep away games, 1v1s, 2v1, etc etc.  Doing frickin footskills and juggling gets boring after a while.  To imply that a kid doesn't love soccer because he gets sick of doing footskills everyday is ridiculous.

messi and ronaldo and pele would kick a ball against a wall for hours ...

I think you underestimate the passion of a pro player in any sport----like Kobe in a driveway sun up until sun down hitting free throws.

I don't mean to be an *ss.  My brother was a professional soccer player.  I have told my own kids that they do not understand how often my brother practiced on his own...literally all of the time which is why he was an awful student.

Neighbors joked when he won a National award that it was expected because they never saw him without a soccer ball.  He dribbled it everywhere he went.  He broke my wrist with a shot in our back yard.[/quote]

Great.  But that doesn't mean that any kid who doesn't do this doesn't love the sport. A kid can not like working on dribbling by himself everyday and still love the sport.  This kid might not make it pro but it doesn't mean he doesn't love the sport AND, if you keep encouraging, maybe he will begin to enjoy working on his own more.  Every kid is different. And there are many paths to success and everyone has different definitions of success.[/quote]

Okay. Maybe.  I know many professional athletes--NFL, NBA, etc. working for CBS sports and the vast majority would work on something on their own day in and day out.

I think there is a fine line between 'encouraging' and being soccer dad that is living vicariously through his kid.  Unfortunately, I've seen far too many in the latter category that make a kid that used to like the sport--completely hate it and have a look of  'pain' in their eyes, glancing at dad on the sidelines worried about what he is going to say in the car.[/quote]

The top tier athletes that I know have inner drive and spend hours working on things on their own, particularly when they were younger and could not afford "private trainers."[/quote]
