why do parents post their kids highlights on social media?

Sure, your kids dominates at age 7, but does the rest of the world care? Are these post supposed to draw the attention of scouts? Are pro teams even scouting at age 7?

Kind of a dumb assumption to make if you are are seriously talking about a parent of a 7 year that shows talent. Of course I am sure it’s not about scouts ya dum dum. Can’t parents just document raising their kids? Why does it have to be about bragging and/or scouting (dumbest thing I have ever heard if I haven’t made that clear yet). You should probably just worry about yourself. Perhaps start there.

It's social media and just another way for parents to show off everything that is great in their lives. Take it with a grain of salt.

They don't show all the awful things going on away from the camera, that will wreck the illusion.

DING DING DING.... This person posted about their 7 year old.... AHAHAHAHAHAHa you got caught!

Seriously tho to answer the original poster- the more clueless the parent is about soccer... the more posting they do. I recently watched a IG reel of a clearly early developed 10 year old girl (she looked like Shaq out there)... the girl had zero soccer skills but could kick the ball from mid field and score goals (tie ball mind you). If the parent knew how bad the girl looked - she would have not posted.

Anyway - I think most parents who do this:
1. Don't really understand soccer; or the many levels of play
2. have a popularity complex; were popular/attractive younger- since no one wants to see them online... so they post pictures of their kids and how awesome they are (which they aren't and no one cares)

There are varying levels of posting. People that post a on social media generally post about their life. If they post proportionately to how they spend time their time in life, they are going to post about their kids soccer the same way they post pictures of the first day of school, vacation or their dog.

I post video highlights of my D because it’s memories for me. I love looking back and really seeing the progress. It has nothing to do with college scouting or attention but rather storing memories on social media page to have for personal reasons. Sports videos of my kids is the same as me posting anything else about my kids. Whether it’s sports, school, special occasions, etc.

Don't have them saved that you have to rely on the likes for the memories?

You do realize what social media is? This is such a stupid thread. If you don't like social media, you simply choose to either not log in or unfollow certain content.

Can we post for our interested family and friends if we turn off the “likes count”?

They are posted on a private account for my D on Instagram. I think she has 40 followers and maybe gets 1-5 likes per post. We don’t do it for the likes. It’s for the memories.

I post about my kid all the time. She is not 7 but an amazing player and that is what social media is for. Don't get mad bc you have nothing to show for on your end. Why they hell do you even care?

Regarding the ding ding poster. You couldn't be more wrong. You clearly are insecure and this taps into your subconscious mind that you will never be good enough.

I personally enjoy having a highlight pop up every year so i can reminisce about her games and how she has improve or what changes she has made to her game.

Don't be a loser, finds something else to bitch about.

This is what bothers you? Maybe they don't care about scouting and just love there kid. You should try it instead of spending your miserable life on SM and them coming to TS to talk about it. Your family probably hates you.

Reeks of jealousy. Do you consider yourself a troll?

Wouldn't you have to be friends to see something like this. So essentially you are talking trash about your friends kid. Classy.
