    How to behave when your son is by far the best player

    My son is the MVP and captain on his team and I feel that the lesser players really look up to him. This is great since my son is a great leader. The problem I have is that sometimes there is jealousy between the parents which may cause some issues. This thread is intended for other fathers who's sons are the best on their teams. How do you handle the demands placed on you by the other parents?

    You have come to the right place for emotional support. Everyone on Talking Soccer has the best kid on their respective teams. It is hard when all he other families are jealous of this. Just let them follow your example of yelling out meaningful instructions to your kid from the sideline like "Kick it, Kick it" and "Go, Go, Go". They should also follow your example of constantly giving the ref a hard time. It is not fair that the ref is singling out your kid just because they are the best player on the field. Good Luck

        I he is the best kid on his team and captain, enjoy it now, because it is fleeting, you will blink and some kid will pass up your kid. Your kid may hit puberty and then only have one thing on his mind, hint: not soccer (see Miami soccer mom's). Your son may just get burnt out by soccer and because he has achieved, so called success, he then does not work that hard. The point is, there are many pitfalls along the way that can blow up whatever you have going right now and until he is on a soccer scholarship or getting paid to play the game, stop boasting and pray to your God.

          Move your kid to a new team that can support your extreme ego.

            Your kid sucks just like every player here in the Miami area. I'm guessing you're from Miami by the way you're talking. Typical my kid is maradona parent.
            You're kid will be eating the bench in Palm Beach/Broward.

              Take him to a DA. All the best players end up there, he will fit right in.

                This is exactly what I am referring too. I am sorry if I may have come across as arrogant but I have to say it like it is. My kid is just better than yours, please do not take it the wrong way. Its obvious you cant help me because it is apparent that your son is not elite, that is ok though I unlike you do not judge. So please do not respond unless you also have an elite son.

                  Every time one of the parents becomes a headache, let them know you were checking out another team's practices. Lay the seed that if they dont start getting in line, the best player will be leaving next year. Been there, done that. The parents care more about winning than anything else.

                    I just moved from Palm Beach to Miami. No idea of where those great soccer players that you mentioned are. At least here in Miami we found a club with fellow Argentinian players, and we KNOW how to play for real.

                      One more word; ****em. The parents are just that. If they can't just sit back and enjoy their kid enjoying being a kid then it's on them.

                        Thank you that is exactly what I mean, they do not let me enjoy the honor that comes from having the captain and mvp for a son. Please respect my right to be proud.
