[quote=Anonymous]I agree that it's not the clubs job to develop players, particularly at the older ages.  Once you are in HS, you as a player, if serious about the game, better be putting in the work outside of your club training in order to get better.  That's technical training, speed and strength training, even just watching high level soccer.

But, if you have a good situation with the club and coach at a younger age, it can make a huge difference and certainly is an exception rather than the norm.  My child lucked out and had a great club coach for 3 years before they were a teen.  That coach was great at teaching, working with the players and also sharing with parents.  Child had a early growth spurt and was like a stork on ice for a bit.  Coach pointed out what can help manage this change and we, outside of the club, provide our child with additional training that helped them use their new found size as a benefit rather than a negative.

But, not the club, it was on the player and us to help get there.

Interesting conversation.  I look at my child's team and it is pretty clear the players that are doing extra work outside of their regular training and those that are not.  It's on the player, not the club for sure.[/quote]
