[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny that people on here are griping over someone saying juggling 50x is hard.  [b]Both my kids can juggle over 1000x[/b] and I think the guy who posted about juggling is right. [b] If you aren’t going to put the time in at something as basic as juggling, then scram[/b].

i love these maxims. Acting like there's only one way to develop a kid and that if your kid can't hit certain benchmarks by age 9, then they're doomed to failure at soccer. My kid can juggle.. maybe 40 times on a good day, they only practices soccer 3-4 days a week, and almost never practice on their own. Yet they have one of the best first touches on the team and they're a starter on a top team in a top league. They even have the audacity to play a second sport at a high-level and soccer is their 'for fun' sport. How is this possible if juggling is required to play high level soccer, you need to be exclusively focused on soccer by 10, and all successful kids must practice on their own 7-days a week? Just let the kids have their own journey. If they want to get 2000+ juggles on their own, great for them! If they don't, they're going to be just fine.[/quote]

Your problem is thinking because your kid is an anomaly that it's the norm. It's like anything else in life, some people have a knack for things and most have to work their ass off. Just because math comes natural to me I'd be pretty dumb to question why others may need to study or need a tutor.[/quote]

My goodness, look how sensitive these dads get when anyone questions their arbitrary rules to live by... Not everyone has to make soccer a horrible experience for their kids for an almost non-existent chance to make a pro team or go P4 in college. If you're already talking about 'grinding' for a u-little, then you have missed the point of playing a sport and I feel bad for your kid. Read the posts by parents of college players on this forum and very few of them talk about their master development plan for their kids, or how they forced their kid to juggle the ball everyday. Just let your kids enjoy soccer and have their own journey. If they can juggle 1000 times, great for them. If not, they're allowed to enjoy soccer too[/quote]
