My father encouraged me to stay at home on Sundays and rest. I did from time to time, but the coach always punished me for sometimes not coming to practices. He said, “Since you are not really involved, you won’t be playing!”. I had to sit out matches and just watch my teammates play.
My son was a member of the soccer club in junior high school. He was pretty good at it, but in MNX ƳSFQ ^JFW NY YTTP ZU F QTY TK his time- about 17 hours per week! That’s almost half of the hours in a school week in Holland. I felt that it was excessive for a student his age, especially with his grades not being very good at all.

My father and my coach obviously had very different views on this. As for me, since I wasn’t included in games, I lost my desire to play and quit the club. I later joined one which was more relaxed, with only two practices per week.

I went to speak with the teacher. I told him that it was unfair that my son would be punished by being excluded from games. It obviously fell on deaf ears. He told me that the club was for gambaru hito, that is, those who were willing to give their all. I was quite indignant.
