Re: Boys 2028-8th Grade Fall 2023/Summer 2024 Anonymous #446904 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Originally Posted by Anonymous I recently spoke to a college coach and asked him what's more important, being on a good team and not playing or playing on a lesser team but playing a lot. The answer was you don't get better from watching, you have to be on the field to get better. He said he gets asked that a lot and says it's the parents that are doing the kids a disservice by opting for the better team and less playing time. You learn and grow from playing in games. I’ll add. Not playing destroys confidence. Confidence doesn’t come from practicing vs better players. It comes from success on the field. This is HS now. There is very little winter and no spring at this age for travel, you want your som be a team where he is playing in a 7-7 game with 5 minutes left. Like Reply Quote
