is the kid really more talented, or just more mature? Danny almonte comes to mind
He's 3 and can dribble and shoot really well, so yeah, he's pretty talented. Kids that age generally lack the fine motor skill and coordination required to finesse the ball on the move and consistently kick in the location they want. You can teach fundamentals and how to control the ball, but even if the kids listen and actually do what you're telling them, they generally lack the required ability for good control. When it comes to power, their legs are like windshield wipers that only go either fast or really fast instead of variable speeds where you can dial in what you need. You can't teach that kind of innate motor control.
What can be taught is not being a whiny attention hoar, but that's obviously not happening with those parents.
As someone who has had both a boy and girl in soccer since about this age, and having had to witness it firsthand, this is a really brilliant analogy for what I see, and even in some kids slightly older.
Honestly, at 3, you are lucky to have maybe 1 or 2 kids on the entire field that actually understand what they are supposed to do with the ball even if they make contact with it.
This kid has really good spatial awareness, quick feet, and an amazing touch for his age in addition to understanding what needs to be done when he's close to the ball, nothing against him, but wow that the parents would have a problem with letting some other kids play when its 10-0 after probably 5-10 minutes into a 40 minute game, just cheer for your kid and tell him good job. The coach would have likely subbed him in again later; it has nothing to do with ability. They aren't going to sit him for the rest of the game. Dont harass the coach for it and try to claim some sort of victim status.
Unfortunately it worked. GFM is at $60k? Incentivizing people to be stupid ********s just invites more of this nonsense.
Ms. Rachel is a huge problem, though. She should be demonized or at least demonitized on youtube. The fact that she can subtly indoctrinate your kids with woke **** like trans and pro-Hamas support is ridiculous.
