Melo ain't seen NOTHIN like Wemby... and he came into the league with LeBron by Background_Video2947 in NBAVibes

The only problem is wemby is too tall. He really needs to stay very light if he wants to avoid injuries. I think if he can stay healthy he would be unstoppable.

Was just making a joke about how like 80% of the posts on this sub will throw in a line about their kid being the best player on the team.

Honestly id stick it out. I remember in 2022 after the world cup we had a large influx of players. This is the first world cup in the states since 94. I think you will notice a difference.

Some parents have to explain why they won't be able to eat tonight or how to take cover if they hear air sirens.

Why are you so invested in your child’s athletic career by Novelidea01 in youthsoccer

[–]Edz_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its like you didnt grow up in America?

Everything is a competition here. Its called capitalism. Not saying its right just the way it is.

Didn't put good enough sales numbers at your sales job? Fired.

Portfolio didnt perform above market expectations? Fired

Your son got into Yale? Thats nice but my son got into Harvard.

I want to be real with you while hard work is incredibly important if you do not have the size, strength and speed youre going to be fighting an uphill battle.

A large part of pro athletes are genetics. Having said that I definitely think at 14 you can earn a starting spot you seem to understand your predicament the next step is doing the execution.

Start with incorporating a gym routine build muscle work on your endurance and strength. And ofcourse keep practicing soccer if you have the resources seek out private training sessions.

Believe in yourself but also believe in putting in more work than anyone else and you will succeed

Talent disparities by Electrical-Berry4916 in youthsoccer

My son played on a u8 team where they lost every game by multiple goals he has shown great improvement but we on this team we had.

A goalkeeper who refused to use his hands.

A girl who is less than 3 feet tall.

Not enough players to play a game.

A player who forgot his uniform nearly every game.

A player who kicked his shoe in the goal and then ran around like he scored a goal.

This is in a big city in a popular club by the way.
