[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCU u16s have not beaten another MLS academy all season.  Another L this weekend against Philly a union which is to be expected.  it isn't the kids.  It's the club.  They have the talent. But have no idea what to do with them [/quote]

Good thing for the kids its their talent and potential that dictates their future trajectory.  Not results of games.

Only parents think win and loss is important in that regards.

Real high level youth soccer people for those ages are observing players, not team results. [/quote]

Please show us using verifiable facts and objective measures how the DC United Academy is developing individual players.  Show us, using metrics, how individual players have improved over time following DCUAs development plan for them.

How have the real high level players improved their future trajectories,   specifically.

Tell us, despite every age group losing to Philly Union yesterday without scoring a single goal, how the training and play style is contributing to the future success of the individual players.  [/quote]

What any of this gotta do with the fact that individual development is about individuals and not teams?[/quote]

You need a solid team environment to develop individuals.  You can't have a bunch of bums around a top player or a set of top players and expect those top players to get that much better.  Iron sharpens iron.  Can you learn from an environment like this?  For sure.  But it is about how MUCH can you learn in a better environment.  Why players move from smaller clubs to bigger ones...Better training environments to get better. [/quote]
