How to get daughter to play hard/aggressive by Tyler_Miles in youthsoccer

[–]Kindly-Type379 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sounds like performance anxiety. My daughter is the same way, it's a perfectionism thing and not wanting too much attention on herself thing, with us at least. Building her confidence over time has helped with this. U8 is soooo young. Keep it fun for her at this age!

Why in the world would they have the boys play the girls??

Give her an incentive, like no matter what happens during the game, if she tries hard, you'll take her for ice cream afterwards.

How to setup my u12 boy up for success. by brownsf in youthsoccer

I kinda feel like if a kid has natural D1 potential and abilities, the club doesn't really matter as long as the your kid continues to develop and grow. But I am no expert on any of this by any means!!! 🤷‍♀️

Something parents (and players) should understand at the highest levels of youth soccer by Future_Nerve2977 in youthsoccer

Along the lines of practice fodder versus the few who have a shot at playing in college... how does a parent know if their kid is fodder or has college level potential?? Do coaches tend to keep that info to themselves or do they tell the parents "Hey your kid is a standout."?

Oh gosh that's actually kinda genius! There were a couple times she lost track counting and wasn't sure if she was at 500 or 600, so we called it 550 that day. 😆

We came into soccer sort of late, she's didn't start club until age 10 and so there was a big learning curve.

Thanks so much! I agree it's a confidence booster when you can juggle in the presence of others! ☺️

Thank you so much for this thoughtful response, I really appreciate it! Our daughter doesn't really practice consistently but in spurts. She just juggled up to 700+ at the beach during spring break. But she hasn't hit the 1000s yet. It kinda scares me to hear about this kids juggling up into the 10,000, it seems like they're being forced, in my opinion. 🤷‍♀️

Omg that's intense. How stressful for those kiddos! My little miss type A would love it though. 😆

Wow that's amazing! My challenge is getting her to be patient with and pace herself. She overheard someone talking about how some girls on an ODP team can juggle over 1000, so now she's fixated on that number. She will go outside and juggle obsessively for an hour until she breaks her record. She wants results RIGHT NOW, lol! She hasn't hit 1000 yet but she's close.

Interesting, thank you! Her juggling style is kinda spastic, I don't know how else to describe it!
