[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The latter. The coaching is very poor. They pick the best kids, and fail to develop them. This becomes increasdingly obvious as the kids get older and the gap between the non-developing DCU kids and the developing kids from other MLS academies grows each year.[/quote] Actually, they pick the biggest kids and fail to develop them because, in part, the kids are all early bloomers and are done growing. Many of the kids they select have questionable skills and soccer IQ - they are just bigger than the kids they are playing against. Not all, but many. [/quote] +100 [/quote] There is some truth to this. I don't think their scouting is as good as it should be, and they do pick a few kids on the basis of speed and size who they probably shouldn't have picked because there were better options out there. But they still get the really technically talented kids too. Then they fail to develop any of them.[/quote]
