Parents must care more about enjoyment, not rewards

There is no doubt that the recently released policies have led to a rise in the number of people participating in soccer, in terms of both amateur players and related businesses. Older players in the field are also discovering new ways to break through. These factors have resulted in improved development of sports generally and may help the country's soccer players perform better at the professional level.

However, some parents are sending their kids to soccer schools with a far too utilitarian, or result-oriented, mindset that emphasizes how well the child performs and what they can gain. From my perspective, this contradicts the very nature of soccer, which is teamwork. After all, it is a team sport.

If parents have an extremely selfish mindset, their children will be influenced and there will be no point in talking about "the team". The kids would only care about their own improvement and gaining a place at a renowned school via their soccer skills.
