Often newbie soccer parents believe that there’s a cheat code or want to play politics. They’ll even ask others about it.
It can be really irritating to interact with these slimy or totally jaded folks regardless of their social standing or personal accomplishments.
You can’t cheat when running a marathon. If you don’t you might get caught.
There's some principles that help, parents, and kids, however.
Good genes: we shouldn’t ignore biology, genetics, or physiology. I’m not talking eugenics here.
Be realistic: as you move through the years don’t ignore the data. Keep your goals within reason.
Work hard: your kid should focus on their effort.
Enjoy it all: don’t forget to have fun.
Focus: don’t goof off at practice
Be social: develop a winsome personality
Be kind: it’s difficult sometimes.
Keep your nose clean: steer clear of the gossip and politics
Attitude: develop character and gratitude. Don’t be entitled.
Love it: Fall in love with the game, she will love you back
Be interesting: There’s more to life than soccer. Believe it or not.
Trust karma: don’t fret over the nonsense or what we might call unfairness or inequities. In the long run, the cosmic accountant audits the books.
Give back: invest time, talent, and treasure into your club and the system. The law of reciprocity never fails in either direction.
This is **** my kid was all of this and they got shafted, while the *******s prospered an d were rewarded
