PEOPLE ACT IN THEIR OWN SELF INTERESTS.
One of the truisms I believe after 58 years on this earth, most involved in soccer. Parents are inherently interested in their own children first, and most do about anything to help their own child most. Makes them human. Some then start clubs, not necessarily because little Susie doesn't start but maybe because they are proactive and see that others will also get a chance. Must look at every individual situation.
I have seen parents show up unannounced, build goals, buy nets in Rochester, NY and put them up in Conrad, Iowa the day before opening games in a town of 1,000 people, send emails and letters to coaches thanking them, just do nice things because they are nice people. Most people do act in their own self interest, but some give and share and have real confidence in themselves that this is the right thing to do.
I hope we have a million clubs, a million interested and sharing parents, a million teams for girls and boys to play on, and a million memories. Put me in coach.
