Yeah the quiet part ain't gonna' happen. Soccerdude's coach has had 3 scouts out watching him and 2 other boys, so the National Team is not a far-off dream for him. It is within his reach as long as he doesn't get side-tracked and lose that knee of his. He would go when he is 16 (and Mom will have a freakin' ulcer within a month!!)
well, if that's what he truly loves to do, more power to him. hope he makes it. and i do hope that knee holds out. it's sad to see folks who really get into something like that and then blow out a knee (or an arm or whatever) and have to stop without a backup to keep them flying.
i suspect you're gonna get an ulcer in 20 years, and 30, no matter what. a kid's a kid, and i haven't seen how anyone who's really attached to one can just cut them off and not worry as much as they did when the kid was in diapers.
ever. i think some folks just fake it better than others.
