Tell him to make sure he shows the coaches what he does best - whatever that is.

This is simply not true. There are plenty of clubs that don't operate this way.

Good coaches should look past the ‘hyper chickens’ (great descriptive phrase, btw) and if they can’t, your kid will probably be better off somewhere else in the long run anyway.
Your kids level of technique and IQ needs to be really high and impactful to get noticed if they arent a nashville hot chicken mess.
