2 tidbits:

Is soccer fun? Joy is so often left out of youth/scholastic sports. This is related to the playing time point. If you enjoy playing the sport just resolve to do exactly that

It is hard the hs players to truly understand that this year’s pecking order is not going to be the same for the duration. So many examples of athletes developing at different rates

Best of luck. I am officially retired as a sports dad (albeit went out rooting on an Ivy championship) and already miss it. Btw to all sports parents dont forget about your Joy either. Cant believe how many make themselves miserable about coaches, refs, whatever. Enjoy watching, even the really great athletes from competitors

The guy can be relentlessly anal, but who loves Dartmouth, football and all sports, in as pure /a little boy a manner, as GG does?!?! That's why we ought to start a collective in his name - a name which I'll only divulge in immediate response to a seven-figure contribution to the collective!

And we need to get this established soon; before we lose GG to Ivy chat, where Dartmouth representation is sorely lacking.
