Originally posted by Unregistered View PostLove this so much! The parents are the ones who ruin it. The kids in varsity soccer or competitive level soccer know there have to be kids who start on the bench or won't play as much depending on each game. It's the parents who often feel bad for the player or other parents who stereotype the benchwarmers or even the coach who feels bad, when in reality the kids understand and appreciate their role on the team. Everyone always posts the college players will quit when they don't get time on the field and blah blah blah. Many are happy to be a part of the college experience and not always get to travel and start. I've heard of coaches moving the non starters to lower teams where they could get more playing time thinking they were doing the right thing for the kid when the player actually was developing more as a nonstarter on the higher level team. Stop feeling for the kids and let them feel.
Think of the parents who don't like said coach because suddenly their kid isn't playing the position they think they should be.
Think of the coach who plays a guest player from another team and sits a kid who has played all year.... and for a meaningless game. We can all name the names. -- A-holes
