Although this mom necessarily did not want her son to make it to next level, since her child wanted that and seriously pursue soccer, practicing and making it to next level, her husband and she were also supporting their child with their time and money. She has become aware about soccer as a whole by his son and also knew a lot about the soccer recruitment in US. She thought the TalentID was an interesting idea. However, she had some concerns. Since these were very young kids under 10, she was not OK with open ratings as that could affect the child morale negatively. Also, she considered her son privileged to have access to resources but at the same time was worried that this platform would become a hurdle for underprivileged kids. That said for being comfortable for her son to have a profile and being willing to pay, she needed assurance about the structure of data access and also fairness of the platform.
