[quote=Anonymous]It is a tough environment to discuss development. If your team does not win top players leave, even if coach has bigger picture and is trying to develop long term. Then you have all the leagues and saturation. If a player/parent does not get their way they move to another so called "elite" team. Development is a long term pursuit and all the politics and softness in this area does not really allow for it.

Have to have setbacks to move forward I am not sure anything great was built without setbacks. As you can tell by this forum every game is life and death and then parents want to blame clubs or coaches. Endless cycle that will only get worse. The young teams always drama filled and as teams get U17 and U19 you never hear about those teams on this forum anymore. Parents create a reality show around the youth teams during this critical period of development 10-14 and people wonder why youth soccer is broken.

This is a capitalist country, the clubs provide the services that the customers demand. Win games, post college commits on IG even if they were only at your club for 2 seconds, market your club and parents come flocking. There does not need to be a philosophy beyond that, there will always be another family willing to step in and pay.[/quote]
