"The worst Thing That Can Happen to A Youth Soccer Player or team Is Win Early"

​Quote of the weekend by a soccer parent: "The worst Thing That Can Happen to A Youth Soccer Player Is Win Early". Following is a video on a conversation I recently had with a youth soccer player's parent at the Central Jersey Futsal League in reference to youth soccer and the meaning of winning and development. Some say we want our team to be challenged, we want them to play better or older teams...we don't care about winning or losing we just want to be challenged...what they really mean is we want them to be challenged as long as they win...The road to development is slow, hard paced with many lessons, and most are not ready for it.
