[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just want to get some opinions on the current state of F8. I remember some time ago it was a great program. Now that is has grown, its become overly saturated and focused more on revenue through camps, merch, "coaching course", Futsal, etc. Sucks because Christian seems like a good person but money has become his priority contrary to his messages on player development. I stopped taking my kid because that reason. I have heard he wants to start his own club but I would steer clear, its one thing coaching and one thing training players. The coaches that work there lack experience, they are just there as support and probably get underpaid compared to the enrollment. The priority of F8 is to gain popularity off the backs of kids IG accounts, its a genius marketing plan but its essentially free marketing for them.

Its a solid program but very out of touch now, just wondering if there are some that also feel the same. Hes a good guy but if you truly want to get your moneys worth, work with a reputable private trainer, CR is a good marketing person by leveraging his playing experience(Pro in El Salvador, which is not that high) as the selling point. For example, Luciano Emilio has a club in MD and hes a MLS Golden boot winner, the only difference is that CR is better at marketing. Again, this is not to bash them, I just speak on my perspective and for players who want to get more of their moneys worth.[/quote]

Thanks for this honest feedback.  I just know people don't know how to separate the IG marketing from reality.  I don't think enough people do their research.  My DC is currently at a summer camp from an organization with less than 1k followers on IG and it is the most technical and exhausting camp they have ever done.  Kudos for shouting out Emilio.  The DCUM crowd will not check him out just like they ignore DC Hyper and District Dynamo.  Culturally, they won't accept it.

Let the drones follow the False 8 mob.  Christian cracked the code in marketing to the IG/DCUM crowd.  I am happy for him and his wallet.  There is an underground of ballers who settle it on the pitch...quietly.  It's okay IMHO.[/quote]

Do you mid sharing the camp? I am really over the instagram kids and their parents at False 8. [/quote]
