[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can imagine the OP with their head in their palms like “forget it” this whole platform is so funny to me. I come on to get my daily laughs. When people don’t have problems they make them. [/quote]

Me too.  Sometimes I post useful stuff - if I think someone has a genuine question.  Other times - if I think someone is a troll, then I troll right back.  Half these posts - maybe three quarters - are not serious.[/quote]

Sadly, I don't think they are trolls.  A lot of psycho soccer parents out there who think their kid is the next Christian Pulisic or Alex Morgan.  Someday they'll look back on this and realize how delusional they were.  Until then, it's fun to watch![/quote]

Of course someone's kid might actually be the next Christian Pulisic.  the odds are probably reasonable that there's one kid in this area right now who will end up playing in Europe.[/quote]

I agree.  But that kids parents know their talent and don't feel the need to s**t on others kids just trying to have fun.  Although I feel most of the kids of people this on forum are doing this to please their parents.

And I am sharing this from experience.  My kid played at a very high level for years and just recently told me that they, while they loved it at first, felt it became too much for them.  They didn't want to disappoint us by quitting, so they dealt with - including club hopping to a more competitive team - I felt terrible - I had always thought they'd loved it.  They are now excelling in another sport and so very happy.

So, please ask your kids what they want.  Not what you want them to be.  My kid was a really talented soccer player, but ultimately it wasn't their passion.  It took some time for us as parents to come to terms with that because we thought they'd be at least playing college.  But it is not our life to live.
