[quote=Anonymous]Players recruited at top schools generally train with their club at least 4 days a week, play 1-2 games with the club on weekends, train individually, and with outside trainers. Some play high school, ODP, and SuperY.  So yes, a lot has to do with effort, devotion, and genetics.  But the structure, strategy, and team skills generally comes from the club training.  Lots and lots of club training.  If your child has experienced the differences in training with 2 or more clubs, it is easy to see the huge differences in the training and strategy at good vs bad clubs.  If you think the club does not play, at least, a large part in imparting skills on the kids, then you have never been  to a truly good club.  You can also see the vastly different recruitment rates across the different clubs if you are honest and not shading your eyes with your own agenda.

That is not to say that some kids seem to be almost born superstars and would do well with any club, but these kids are few and far between.  I also admit that the effort the kid puts in plays a large part in their success.  But I am also sure that many kids at clubs that do not have the high recruitment rates also give fantastic effort.  Maybe the top kids self select to the clubs that have high recruitment rates, but that had to start somewhere and I bet a large part of that is college recruiters know the clubs that are training well and are consistently producing talent and concentrate their recruiting there.
