[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he was truly competitive in soccer he would be playing Academy and couldn't play HS anyhow. So why bother with school soccer? I don't understand why you care. [/quote]

OP again. You don't understand why I think my son would benefit from a positive connection with his new school?[/quote]

Does the positive connection have to be soccer?[/quote]

OP again- it's the most logical one. And he's already being recruited by colleges and universities so it would be beneficial to stay in that realm.

I will add- lots of you must have abject failures for kids. Insisting your child stay disciplined in something he excels at is a positive, not a negative. But, something tells me your kids are fat and sitting on a play station in the basement.[/quote]

Well, I posted that you are making a big mistake, with a TJ kid who just posted a 3.8 first semester with 19 credits in a tough STEM and a transition to college during COVID.  He’s also a talented musician, and most importantly, a kind kid with good values and empathy.   There we broad limits on college, but he chose which one.  We have always expected him to work hard. But no one forced TJ on an unwilling kid, forced him to stay, chose which track he took, chose his college, chose his major, chooses his college classes.

Your kid is either going to rebel or burn out. If he’s working so hard, at least given him options. [/quote]
