I did it with my son who saw the field often. I refuse to allow some of these coaches to force some of us to believe their team/club is the "All and end All."


100% true. The amount of egotism and hubris with some of these coaches and clubs is completely unbelievable. We pay them. We are the paying customer. I don't understand how parents forget this. There is life outside whatever club and team your kid is on. I promise. The only reason these plagues on humanity have power over our children and families is that we let them. The landscape is changing. There are more clubs and more competition. Screw these guys.
