Question about nurturing a budding talent
Have a 5 year old. He’s dang good at soccer. He’s not physically dominant and isn’t taller than anyone but in a 5/6 year old league in charlotte he’s scoring multiple goals a game.
His team won a 2v5 game last weekend where he had the lone goal. One of our players got injured so they played with 2 the whole time.
What’s the best way to nurture this without crossing the line of crazy sports dad?
He’s an only child.

Should be good to go. They recommend neutering after just a few months.

"nuturing" all you can do is provide the opportunity to play the sport.
