Prior to complaining to your child’s coach about playing ask yourself 4 questions:
1 Does my child attend ALL practices?
2 Does my child spend xtra hrs on their game?
3 Has my child performed when given the chance?
4 Does my child want it as bad as I do?

PLAYERS: Making excuses about why you aren't in the gym, the weight room, or at training sessions usually leads to bad habits. These bad habits will be the same ones that lead you to make excuses during the season as to why you are underperforming.
Players, next season will hold you accountable for how you spend your time this off-season. Understand that wasting time this summer can cause lack of playing time & confidence next season. Now is time to get better! Educate yourselves on how to do that. It must be intentional!
Committed Players:
- Practice with a purpose
- Listen with their eyes
- Do the little things
- Are energy givers
- Accept coaching
- Show up early
- Give 100%
- Stay late
- Work
- WIN!
Are you Committed?

Athletes who want to play and only have fun are "PARTICIPANTS"
Athletes who work hard in practice & games are "COMPETITORS"
Athletes who do what's right regardless of the situation are "CHAMPIONS"
It’s possible to excel in sports and school, and also have a good social life. You just need to be very disciplined and have great time management skills.
PLAYERS: Just because you work harder than someone else doesn't mean you'll win, get more playing time, be praised, get attention, or achieve your individual goals. But not working hard makes those things nearly impossible in the long run. Be consistent and don't give up.
Parents: You’re raising a child, not an athlete. Teach them respect, hard work, how to be a good person. Show them what character & work ethic are. Hold them accountable. Teach them that they won’t ever get what they don’t earn. Strong, well-rounded kids find success much easier!
If your ⚽️ club relies more on external talent than developing its own…
It’s not a club, it’s a recruiting agency.
Want good tryout advice?
Ask the DOC “what percentage of kids have been there their entire career?” Or, “what percentage of players return each year?”
