[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And I can't help but root against the first team.   [/quote]

That's sad.[/quote]

No it isn't. Screw the A team that didn't want the B team player. Do you think Jordan rooted for the varsity HS team when he didn't make it? No, he hoped they failed to drive home the mistake he felt they made by playing him on JV.

And no bench player is rooting for the success of the starter either. They are always hoping that they fail so that they get their opportunity. Eff the starters, eff the A team has to be how a player looks at it. Sorry if it hurts your feelings but there are many kids rooting for your kids failure. [/quote]

I played many different sports when I was a kid. On some teams, I was a starter; on others I rarely played, but enjoyed being part of the team nonetheless. I never rooted against the success of my teammates.

It wasn't a mistake to put your kid on the B team. You're clearly a B-team parent as well.[/quote]

If you aren't rooting for failure in order to get an opportunity then you are not driven. Opportunity comes both through ones own hard work and the opportunity presented by the failure of another. If you accept that you are a sub or a B team player then you are one.

Players who want to be on the A team or be a starter view their teammates as the competition anything less then you are accepting being a role player. [/quote]

This is B team mentality right here. If you were A-team material, you'd be angling how to make yourself better and indispensable to A-team. You'd be working on skills, training and putting in the work. IF the only way you succeed is through someone else's failure, you were never good enough to begin with. [/quote]

This is A team protective mentality right here. A team parents want submissive subs and B team players. Eff you and eff your kid. [/quote]

You're like a parody of an entitled, miserable soccer parent who gets way too emotionally involved in what should be a positive experience for your kid.

Some of my boys have played on B-teams over the years, and some have played on A-teams.  No one in our family displayed any of the anger and bitterness that you're expressing with these type of comments.  You really have issues with attaching too much significance to which team your son plays on.

The reality is, it's highly unlikely that any one of the players playing in NOVA right now, at any age, is going to go on to be a soccer star.  Soon your kid's soccer career and playing days will be over.  Just enjoy the ride. [/quote]
