[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a team in the DMv that focuses on player development rather than rankings?  It seems to me to make a kid a better player you need three things
1  good coaching.
2 sufficient practice time
3. Appropriate competition.

With kids, jumping from team to team (or even worse being pushed out of teams) the teams might be getting better, but it doesn’t seem like it does anything for the kids development. There’s gotta be a way to fix the system.[/quote]

Player development is on the player. "Good coaching" will not make the player bigger, faster, stronger or improve stick skills. Yes good coaching helps fix mechanics, provide a insight on the mental part of the game - defensive schemes, offensive principles, etc. There are definitely better coaches than others but the players hold a majority of the responsibility.

So Norway, Australia, The Netherlands and other relatively small countries (by population) who see spectacular success in international competition have more motivated kids with superior genetics, right? Doesn’t have anything to do with a youth sports regime and culture designed to optimize athletic development over wins and losses until an appropriate age? Relatedly, are you often wrong and never in doubt on other subjects as well, or is it just DMV lax?[/quote]
