[quote=Anonymous]Why is MLS NEXT adding Quality of Play rankings specifically to U13 and U14? There are just over 5,600 U13 and U14 players registered in MLS NEXT, more than 1/3 of the organization’s 16,000 players across the U.S. and Canada. They are the two most malleable age groups. Robles referenced the book, "Outliers," in which author Malcom Gladwell tracked how American hockey players born in the first three months of the year were more likely to go pro. They had been bigger and stronger when they were younger, and thus placed into a top-level national pipeline because they were fortunate enough to be born in January, February or March. "If you're born in January, as opposed to someone that's born in December in the same year, it’s 10% of muscle development,” Robles said. “You're not even sure which direction that's going. We have to find ways to be able to mitigate that."[/quote]
