Coaches just want ringers. It’s easier than having to actually coach, or won’t be exposed for lack of ability to coach and help players improve. They can sit on the sidelines on the cell phone, while barely paying attention, and still collecting a paycheck.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostTotally disagree. Just because a kid may be a poor fit for a team doesn't mean clubs and coaches can treat paying customers poorly. First, do a better job selecting players rather than just filling rosters. Second, give frequent feedback to players/parents - tell them what they nee to work on. Third, as the spring season gets going let families know if the player will definitely get an offer, definitely won't, or is in the bubble. Better that you shoot straight with people then side swipe them later on.

However so many parents want miracles and do nothing extra and expect players will get better just during typical practice sessions. Players who make the jumps tend to be doing the most at home.

Let’s not forget the coaches job can be thankless. I coached town travel and 25 parents happy 25 percent always have some Issue and remaining 50 percent don’t get involved/care. That being said in higher premier levels coaches are also pressured To Win, don’t win lose kids or can’t keep the ones you have - not Worth the peanuts they make is my guess

The best players come from households with cash. 80 percent of the true genetic talent is sidelined.

So, what's holding them back? There's a team for every income level out there. Go play. If one is truly amazing, they'll be found.

For the rest, it will take a lot of coaching, personal inspiration, and off field work to break the genetic deficiency.
