[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the way it works at the big clubs.  Even with teams that aren’t that good.

The coaches are making good money, the clubs also provide different coaching directors etc.  the only way to make budget for all that is with more players.

You don’t have to be a brain surgeon to figure this one out.

But yes [b]the only way to get better is to play significant minutes in the games.[/b]  Consider doublecarding with a lower level team to get those minutes in.  This is the way it is.[/quote]

The only way to get better is not significant minutes in games, it's putting in the extra work outside practice and going hard at practice.  How many times does your kid touch the ball if they play the full game, 10? 15? 20 times?  Now how many times do they touch the ball in practice? 100? 120?  game time doesn't equal development, it's a chance to put what you learned at practice into play against an opponent.  [/quote]
All the kids on team are getting those touches in practice. Only some of the players are getting significant game time on top of the practice time. [b]Which players do you think are getting better development?[/b] There are situations that happen only in games when you are playing another opponent on a full field, pressure, tactics, decisions that need to be made that aren't easy to simulate in practice. Of course some player development happens in games. Not just in games, but games are very important for development.[/quote]

You keep moving the goal posts...first it's "the only way to get better is to play significant minutes" - which is false and now it's "games are very important for development" - which is it? those are two completely different trains of thought.  Keep backtracking maybe eventually you'll put together a coherent thought.

Two different apps. Why do you think the USWNT coach didn’t sub to get ready for that gold medal game?  Everyone has skills.  Using those skills under pressure and when you are tired is completely different.[/quote]
