I work as a hiring manager for a large company. It is always clear as daylight which candidates played a team sport at a high level and which ones did not. Needles to say, the ones who know how to work well on a team, can take the highs and lows, and can motivate those around them, go much further in work and in life. You want to talk about ROI? It's been money well spent at every step of the way.

Agree. I love hiring college athletes because I know they can balance and succeed whatever we throw at them. I do feel bad for all the kids who are going to miss that because of the NCAAs incompetence In managing Covid.

Thanks for your advice. My daughter is off to play in college and every dollar spent traveling to tournaments and showcases will be a lasting memory. Every hotel, every team dinner, every team adventure will be missed but remembered. To all her friends she made from the team and what they learned in their travels have added to her maturity. Getting to travel around the country and playing against teams from other regions in competitive matches both winning and losing taught her a lot about life. In other words the experience has been priceless. Would do it all over again going through the minefields of club soccer. She loved the experience of playing soccer and as parents we stood back and watched her confidence grow each year. Will miss driving her and her teammates to games.

The OP was in response to a parent looking for a scholarship and expecting their $3k spent at the PDA would guarantee that. But great your child is happy. Mine is as well and had amazing experiences but we have the means and are lucky we don’t need to worry about a scholarship.

Yes, thank God we have the means so we don’t have to worry about this lunacy. Good grief.

Any parent looking for a scholarship and think they are entitled for help simply by paying a soccer club/coach gets what they deserve and that’s nothing. I have now completed 3 cycles with my kids and not one club ever promised my kids or me anything. The money we paid to the club was to train and play in competitive matches on a high level ECNL platform and that’s it. The rest was up to them to take responsibility of getting recruited by contacting coaches and getting identified at showcases/tournaments. I paid the club because of the league they play and the competition both in training and in games. I would never want a club/coach/DOC to become a guidance counselor.

Yes interesting! But where would those kids go? Why would you leave the best coach arguably in the country?
