Having asked c.350 players aged 9-15 years old in the past few weeks what they DON'T like about playing football.
#1 - Parents and coaches shouting at them.
Nothing else came even close.
Imagine - many children are playing DESPITE adults around them, not because of them.

Grim reality. 70 hours of training done with our U17s so far this season (not including the 15 matches played).
At least 3 pitch sessions.
5 coaches involved, all volunteers.
Players involved in first team, Irish Internationals!
Not sustainable, serious funding needed! – at South Dublin, Ireland

It becomes less staggering when you work in a pro academy and it quickly becomes common knowledge that most of the kids aren't good enough but they're kept on year after year because they are the best the area has to offer and the club needs to fill the squads.
Sad, but true.
A lot of truth in this from @InishowenIndo. Have a look at any under age game and you will see the future is not looking good.

Pep Lijnders, “I see a lot of tactical and result oriented youth coaches. They put up with the current technical level of players and concentrate on developing team tactics and focus on results. I like to win as well, but... the individual development must dominate.”
