Sadly, my experience with local soccer involves a lot of "Daddy ball". Every coach's kid is the striker or central midfielder. The travel teams are either run for the benefit of the coach's son, or the financial benefit of the coach, or sometimes both. It's not enough that the team win, the right player has to score too. I sure it gives kids a life lesson, just maybe not the one that's advertised - I guess understanding greed and narcissism are important too.
Not saying it's all of them, but it is an awful lot.
