[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Establish a real pipeline with real clubs that have a history of developing players and hire coaches that know how to develop players. Spirit has none of this. Current director is long on resume and short on accomplishment. Other staff is short on both.

This is what Spirit MD, Richmond United, NC Courage, VDA, Penn Fusion, NC Fusion, etc have all done. They didn’t just start a club one day. It took planning and time with qualified people. Not people looking to attach themselves to a “pro” team.[/quote]

This comment makes no sense. Coaches at Spirit VA came from other clubs like McLean, FCV, etc. [/quote]

As a Spirit parent, I'd argue that the one thing Spirit DOES have is the coaching.  I have issues with the bloated rosters, choices for where and when players play, inconsistent talent, etc., but I can see that DDs team is considerably better now (despite these issues) and is playing tighter games, etc., than they were in the fall and last year.  That means only one thing -- coaches are doing the best they can with what they currently have to work with.  I do agree with PPs that 3-4 players (less in a couple age groups) could be the difference in one and two goal differential games.  We are not seeing the blowouts we saw last year....[/quote]

One talented player can close a 1-2 goal gap.  3-4 can change the soul of a team.  [/quote]
