This has blatant falsehoods, unless you plan to produce verifiable data.[/quote]

This is peak anon posting.

“Your post is blatantly false in my opinion, unless you show me proof, and in that case, I will reject your proof because I just don’t like your post, it offends my self-interest and/or preconception.”[/quote]

Well, all you have to do is produce the easy to find proof from reputable sources showing that biobanding and relative age effect is a figment of the imagination and has no impact on selection in youth sports.

Then all those countries in Europe for example can drop their silly biobanding programs. [/quote]

You brought up biobanding, that’s your issue, not mine.

Providing you research that’s easy to find on your own isn’t my job - google is an easy tool to help you find research on relative age and talent ID (ie. team placements) - you can go on your own path of enlightenment, since it’s clear you only listen to yourself.

Never said it wasn’t real. I said it’s effects are narrower over the long term, and the biggest issue of RA is people quit or don’t persevere due to their perceived (a perception or belief is a feeling, not a fact) disadvantage (and that is where you brought in biobanding…because ironically…biobanding is an attempt to solve this specific issue (keeping more players involved in a sport by giving them RA based competition vs making them feel left behind which leads to more drop outs) which you claim is “blatantly false” and you believe that I suggested was a “figment of the imagination”)

Are you stating the obvious that after everyone is past puberty relative age effect is less of an impact on the youth sports landscape?
Well Duh!

The issue has been and continues to be the data, numbers, facts, evidence proves late bloomer Q4 and Q3 kids are often left out of selection and elite prime development environments before maturation.

You do know the evidence collected is as simple as looking at birth months (most are born first two quarters) of players at elite clubs and academies which have proven beyond doubt for years late bloomers often get pushed out, left out.

Anyway this is a waste discussion, because you're trying to say your 1st quarter kid didn't have an advantage which goes against all logic, evidence and facts[/quote]
