[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most kids will not play soccer beyond high school. It's ok to decide that the time and money of elite soccer is not money well spent. You can play for the love of the game with much less commitment. [/quote] What happens if every parent and every kid participating in every sport followed your philosophy of not committing to excelling, because everyone can't be Michael Phelps?[/quote] Why do you keep putting a parent commitment on par with a kid commitment? Stop acting like it’s your sports career. If you have a kid who is truly good enough for D1 or pro you will have people coming up to your kid and pointing this out. It’s not a goal you can decide on for your child ahead of time and think that you can get them to that level. If your kid lives breathes and sleeps a sport by all means support them. But you don’t need to turn into their coach/trainer. Be the supportive parent and let other people fill that role. [/quote]
