My next door neighbor's kid played this

He was 7 this year and made some elite whatever soccer team because his dad is a huge Liverpool fan and is obsessed with his kid playing soccer even though he never played and regrets it or something.
Anyway nice kid and he went in as a very enthusiastic young player, and after 6 months of 2-3x a week practice and games all weekend, he is burned out of playing the sport before the age of 8, but his dad is still dragging him through all of this, even though the kid wants to play baseball.
I hang out with the dad all the time he is so great.
