Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 3009854, member: 1646"] Lots of great comments in here. I think the [USER=153]@upstater[/USER] string is a worthy one. I've heard parents talk negatively about a kid on my son's soccer team and his parents. He plays on three teams and doesn't play any other sports. That kid is super talented and personally driven to be the best at soccer. He loves everything about it. One of our older teams often calls up some kids from my son's team. This kid is the first to volunteer. In fact the coach of the older team now needs to confirm with the kid's parents because one time he lied after his parents shut him down for a weekend and he walked to the game saying he was going to a friend's house. He's also a great kid and teammate. I'd be shocked if he doesn't play through college. I have no issue with that kind of kid (love and ability) specializing. [/QUOTE]
