    It seems that just about any 'journyman pro' is transformed into a technical wizard when striding amongst mere mortals. Clearly the game at That Level is harder than it looks.

    That's right. It's like playing football with your 4-5 year-old sons.

    You're obviously too old, and dare I say it, too rubbish.

    Not in my head I'm not...... I'd rather believe he is brilliant and that he will become a world star... i, obviously, will be a pushy parent who tells every youth coach that they are crap and he should be the star player.

    Best of luck to you then. I would only add that you must let him go with it as far as he wants and as far as you can. They say playing football is the best job in the world and after he's done with it, there'll still be plenty of time to do something boring for the rest of his working life.

    I would never push him (or any of the kids i coach), you want them to enjoy it first and then they will improve anyway.

    Saying thaty he plays up a yr and is head and shoulders above the other kids he plays against, but have seen that before and in a few years most get caught up

    Well it is vitally important to accept and realise just how good these lads are, even the **** ones.

    I played with and against quite a few lads who were at various times employed by clubs, but of course did not ultimately make it (the ones in the UK that is, I would play with some ex-LOI players here from time to time).

    Even then they stand out.

    You have two BIL's involved in the game, this is news to me?

    Of course you are superbly placed to see this. It's almost as if the fact they spent almost every day practising with a ball at their feet has some kind of prolonged impact.
