They are so many Soccer champs where they give the
training, the common thread among great soccer players. Parents are the key;
they can see their kids getting trained.
Ask any great soccer player who played a major role in
their soccer growth and 90% of the time the time the answer will be “Mom or
Dad”. When we developed the soccer series we specifically had this in mind.
Whether it was the level of support or the time at night and weekends spent in
the back yard just “messing around”, parents are often the engine behind
developing talent, not the coach.
Each night we drive by our local public fields and sure
enough there is a parent and child on the field working on skills or just
“messing around” together. These small little sessions play such a major role
in a youth player’s development, I can’t stress them enough. Last year I worked
with several former division One college players and the same was true. Their
“parents” were the reason they were able to achieve such success. None of these
parents were “pro soccer players” so how did they help that struggling child? I
will explain.
Why is it
important for kids to have their parents with them?
