[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When it comes to development, too many people are focused on results in terms of a record. What really should be bred in players is the desire to win in every single play. If you do that, you probably will win more often than not, but you’re really squeezing the most juice that you can out of every single player. The goal should be to develop individuals so that they’re capable of playing at a higher level, while learning how to play within system and game model of their team’s particular structure. The problem is people misconstrue this and hinder the player’s development in order to try and get results exclusively, then have a self-aggrandized view of themselves because “they’re winning.” Player decision-making, technical ability, awareness, creativity, and even the physical training needed to play in a progressive manner, are sacrificed. Players aren’t pushed beyond or even just to the limits of what they could possibly become. The development structure also ends too early at U18-19.[/quote]

Because for the overwhelming majority high school is the age where they will play their most competitor soccer, a small percentage will play in college for their schools and some will play club or IM level. Given that, a focus on peaking at 16-18 makes sense [/quote]
