What if your kid were a true superstar?

Let’s assume your child is identified as one of the top 10 soccer players in the country at age 13. Would you be willing to move to another state such as California or Florida to help advance your child’s career?

OK CFC dad.

only kid, flexible career for both parents, like wherever the location is? Maybe. Maybe.
Odds of all of that happening for most families? Slim to none.

If the kid is THAT good you don't need to move. Seek opportunities to advance their "career". CT doesn't currently have a kid that fits this description except only perhaps in a parent's head.

Odds a 13 year old will be a superstar still by 18? Also slim.

There is a few at my kids club. At least that is what the parents think and the coaches do give them special treatment. Weird thing though they can't even receive or pass the ball and their first touch is horrible.

Not sure what parents are looking at.

Really, really doubtful. As mentioned, financial position/flexibility would drive it more than anything else. Honestly, if we are talking about a top-10 player in the country you could make due anywhere and reconsider in 3-4 years.

"I know exactly what I'm looking at, pal. You don't score 57 goals as a 9-year old and not be a superstar."

Consult with the Moultries.

Exactly. If a player is that good and can continue at that level, location doesn't matter. The odds of it happening are poor. There's plenty of pre pubescent superstars who flatline later on. The odds a player in CT (right now) is in the top 20? Even lower.

What career? To go pro? If that's the goal (and I won't get into to sanity of that) then it can wait a few years. If it's just to get a great college scholarship? Heck no.

This has CFC written all over it. Pretty soon he’ll be talking about commits at 14yo.
