32 hours round trip to Burlingame in the ThornMobile.
18 bags of cheetos consumed.
Four cases of Red Bull guzzled.
Six hours on the side of the road pouring water bottles on the radiator.
The memories? Priceless.
Don't be a snob. Kids will be kids.

I love old vans but I sure hope they have someone along who is a fix-it person. They are not the most reliable vehicles on the road. The last thing you want is to be stuck on the side of the road and miss soccer games.

If you have a low GPA you better be shooting for the PRO's or you are wasting your time.
You are better off being an average soccer player with a 4.0 GPA.

If you only have a 2.0 gpa you shouldn't be spending hours per day on sports when you should be studying.

If your kids is concerned about people watching them play, or their classmates cheering them on or community support, then they are misguided and thinking about the wrong things. Those things are not important. High school extra circulars are not important.

Unfortunately US soccer expressly prohibits a try out fee so that's good. It lowers the barrier to participate. Always good.
US Soccer is a shell organization that will not care either way.

If they get 6 or seven kids to try outs they get about a grand. Not bad for a couple hours work.
