Sweet,
I agree...and a lot of it depends on the individual and the situation. If you're one of those few (or only) club players on a struggling high school team, you might look forward to club season, like the player I was talking to today. Or, you might just enjoy the freedom from pressure for a while and feel like a big fish in a small pond. If you're on a high-powered high school team playing a schedule of weaker opponents, you might enjoy the freedom to cut loose and feel dominant in some games, or you might prefer getting back to an environment where you feel challenged every time you step on the field. Depends on what the individual is looking for, but I think the important thing is to find a way to enjoy what you're doing, no matter what level you or your opponents fit into.


I've got good news and bad news...
