[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't buy the best athletes and coaches play other sports. I think that's an extremely dumb statement. There are PLENTY of world class athletes in the US that play soccer.  Just look at the size of the US compared to 90% of the other countries in the world. The number of kids we have playing soccer is probably more that most other countries total populations. Now why we can't find 20 kids to put together to beat all these other countries is absolutely bonkers to me. I just don't know. We should be able to find 20 kids in the DMV to beat any country in the Caribbean for Pete's sake. On a side note...I'm not sure big TV networks like soccer because there are no commercials so I don't think it's as lucrative as all the other sports that have time outs and big breaks every few minutes. This will keep the big money out of soccer in the US.[/quote]

This is accurate.  What I hope is that all of you folks with kids on A and B teams who have kids with the desire to play at the next level will pay attention to skill development and not just taking the clubs advice.  I encourage people to watch the #youthsoccerplaybook playlist on Youtube by Kyle Wilson.  He grew us like most of our kids in the DMV with moderately wealthy parents, like most of us.  https://youtu.be/2nt4lPXTEEM?si=agykvfybr33VXujb

The club environment is still the same now as it was when he grew up.  He is a little obnoxious online and my kid did not get into soccer until he was 9 but we are still building a foundation but on this playbook.  Kids should be doing at least 15-30 minutes at home, on their own, mastering the ball.

The more technical each of our kids are, the more they will push each other and the DMV will start to produce talent commensurate with the investments people are making in their kids.  $200 an hour of private training 1-2x a week will pale in comparison to the kid spending 20-30 minutes daily mastering the ball.  Grab a few kids together and allow them to do it together.  Get away from spending $$$ for development and work in your individual neighborhoods/communities and even clubs to get kids off devices and working with the ball on a daily basis.  The results will follow.[/quote]
