[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's pretty bad that we can't praise the soccer clubs that do a good job. McLean BRYC and FCV have been doing their part to elevate woman's soccer, rather than criticize we should appreciate what they do. I can think of 30 clubs in the DMV area that wishes they could do for their players what those clubs do. [/quote]

Umm...they are the legacy ECNL clubs in the area.  Players were drawn to those clubs to participate.

Someone said it best earlier, the player should claim credit for their accomplishment.  There are many area trainers and coaches who are not ECNL affiliates who do a great job.  Lots of private training too.  Ultimately, it's the player's innate talent, drive, and effort that gets them noticed and recruited, by the clubs you mention and colleges.

The clubs have not built the players.  It's quite the opposite.[/quote]

.. if a kid that leaves McLean at 18 to play at UNC had stayed at gunston rather than leave at 13 do you think they would be going to UNC?

If the player didn’t leave Gunston would McLean have had as talented a team? Did McLean fundamentally change the player creating the opportunity or did the exposure that McLean offered create the opportunity? At some point UNC had to make a choice for a player and in that moment it is WHO the player fundamentally is a person and as a soccer player that makes the biggest difference. [/quote]

They went to the club for the recruiting platform, not to "be developed."  Whomever worked with that fictitious kid at Gunston up to U13 did a great job in teaching them the basic skills needed to make it at the ECNL level.  The player had the talent and displayed the effort needed to be recruit-level.  I think that same player would be recruited whether they were at McLean, BRYC, or FCV.  [/quote]

If you are taking your kid at 13 to a club to be recruited and not developed you are a crazy person. [/quote]
