[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What some of you are not getting is this is competitive soccer no recreational. You chose to tryout and accept a roster spot on a competitive team. Its performance based as it should be. Is it about your kid and their team ? Or the parents and their embarrassment that their kid isn't good enough to win playing time. Our culture has gotten delusional as to what competing is. Too many want to have equal everything basically nullifying hard work and talent. Too many parents are telling their kids good job when losing 6-0. If your kid is usually a bench player with limited minutes. You should instill itin them to make the most of their minutes whether it is in games or in training. Give 110% effort and nothing less. Parents are quick to complain about the coach not playing kids but would never complain about another parent not sending their kid to training, all games, on time for both, knowing their position, giving effort. Many parents will blame and be angry with a coach "we drove 2 hrs and had family come just to see little Johnny sit on the bench". How about being angry at little Johnny for only giving a 50% effort, Not knowing their position, taking training as a social event instead getting better. [/quote]

So playing time is a reflection of the players who put in the most efforts? I don’t see that being the case at all. The better players get more playing time regardless of their efforts. The good player who doesn’t come to all the practices or doesn’t run back to play any defense is being rewarded with more playing time. Happens all the time. I just wish coaches were up front and honest about a players role on the team so parents can make an informed decision[/quote]
