[quote=Anonymous]I know this is a million dollar question but how would you define good coaching and development?

Parents get upset at clubs pulling in other kids from outside and not developing their own players. But a kids inability to develop - how much of that is the coaching and how much of that is that perhaps the kid isn’t good enough or hasn’t put in the work outside of practices?

FWIW, we are a family that moved from a small club to a more established club. Kid is a starter on the first team and his new club and plays almost all game. They are not the best player on the team but in the top third.  We moved because we didn’t think our kid was getting coached well anymore. At the new club, kid has gotten even better and i feel is being developed. But he’s getting the same coaching as all the players who had been around a while.

Isn’t it a given that some kids are just going to hit the ceiling on developing at their club unless they’re doing something else? I would say that the top players on my kids team, including my kid, do quite a lot on their own, either training by themselves, with a sibling, and/or private coach.  [/quote]
