[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I looked into OP’s post thinking it was too wild to be true. Turns out it’s actually real, probably two of the biggest charlatan clubs in NoVa presented on the topic below. It’s not satire:

“The session explored how clubs can intentionally shape their identity, align values across programs, and create environments that support long-term growth for players and stakeholders from the youth game through the professional level.”[/quote]

Would have loved to have been there to see how many eyes were rolling and how many were throwing up in their mouths.[/quote]

But if it were your club coaches you would thought it was the greatest thing ever.  Every club in this area operates the same way with the same BS about pathways and player development. No club prioritizes development, they prioritize outside players be use they are new revenue. [/quote]

An existing and outside player still pay. If you cut an existing player, then the new player just replaces that revenue.[/quote]

At our big club, the existing player doesn't leave. They promise the new players the highest or second highest team. The existing player on the second or third team that deserves to move up doesn't move up, but they stay where they are.  The don't quit. It is new revenue-  especially at the older age groups when they just make teams bigger.  [/quote]

So you are saying less talented outside players are taking slots on top teams when your kid is clearly better than the new players right? Just in the name of revenue right?  No chance your kid is not as good right?  Define “deserves” in your mind.  Clearly better skills, speed, size or is it just longevity in club.  We hear this argument all the time, my experience with top team in big club is they are always evaluating performance and potential and moving/adding players to improve the entire teams potential if and when they can find and recruit them.  If your club is not time to move on.  IMHO.[/quote]
