Date: May 29th, 2025 7:19 AM Author: pearly native For me, there's absolutely nothing else I'd rather do on the weekends than drive my kids around to their sporting events. I genuinely mean that. This coming weekend, I'll have my 2 older kids the whole morning saturday and sunday as they both have games. We get up early, get a bagel, get to the field early so the 3 of us can kick the ball around and have fun before the rest of the team gets there. I hang out with the one who's not playing, then we drive to the next game and the roles reverse. Maybe stop for lunch on the ride home.
I feel fortunate that I get to do this and cherish every minute of it.
I do agree with you that the travel requirements for the highest leagues (e.g. ECNL, GA and MLSNext) are outrageous, but that won't come for another couple years and will depend entirely on how serious my kids are about soccer. There's no reason, for example, to drive 4 hours each way for a single U14 soccer game. This model is for hyper competitive parents, not the kids. I'm sure they'd be perfectly content playing other children who live closer to them. |

Date: May 29th, 2025 5:04 PM Author: Excitant transparent dog poop theatre One of the families that I’m thinking of has a pitcher at a D1 college. And in the high school years I watched them spend a small fortune on pitching coaching with like advanced video and data driven analytics, spend all of the family’s time traveling to tournaments and events, and absolutely crater the development and self-esteem of the neglected daughter who was several years younger. I think they’re just now realizing the price that was extracted as the son is almost done with school (with parents still traveling constantly to go see his games) and the daughter’s engagement with family, community, and school is coming back into focus now that the parents have some time.

Date: May 29th, 2025 5:14 PM Author: Insanely Creepy Toilet Seat House on my street is on the market for what we paid for our house 2 years ago. That house has a brand new pool, a whole house generator, an extra bedroom, and 250 more square feet than ours. Our 2023 purchase price is about $100k more than the current market. So yeah, it’s not your house or your career or your job or your clients or the majesty of the law. It’s about your kids achieving their athletic dreams before their ephemeral youthfulness transforms into hardened callousness and the harsh realities of life set in.
