More Than Soccer

This weekend an incredible World Cup came to an end, a fantastic tournament of surprise results and shock performances.

During the tournament England’s Fabian Delph welcomed his child in to his life, and a moment of class from Gareth Southgate insisted that Delph return home during the tournament to be with his wife and new born child.

Southgate said: “The thought process is some things in life are more important than football”. His wife is due to go into labor. This is a big tournament, but family is more important. At times like this, players who are family orientated should be supported by us”.

At the biggest soccer tournament in the World, a key player was released for a family moment. This is something we are now seeing that is missing in youth soccer. Tournaments and travel games being more important than moments in a child’s life, missing family events and childhood experiences.

We are all passionate about soccer, and as a club we will do everything we can to support the soccer development of Fremont players, but there must be balance and an environment for kids to develop as human beings.
