OK, so my kid fell into a demographic. Here is a sampling of his post-micro club coaches (by description):
1) The "old hand," who was a little too "old school" for some of the moms and the new club bosses. 2) The soon-to-be-college-coach, who left after one session. 3) The used car salesman, who was generally late to training and couldn't discipline a pet, much less a kid. 4) Director of Coaching No. 1, who told my son he'd never be fast enough to play at a higher level. 5) Director of Coaching No. 2, who actually WORKED at his trade and constructively demanded more from the kids.
Thank god for Example No. 5, without whom my son would be playing (or not) anything BUT soccer. My point being, demographics are significant, except when they're not. Which is actually quite often.
